On June 1, 2025 at 18:22 UTC, a magnitude 2.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 20 km S of Pa‘auilo, Hawaii, at a depth of 25.3 km and coordinates 19.8558°, -155.3787°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 274 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 55 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
