M3.2 Earthquake 90 km SSW of Mākena, Hawaii — June 14, 2025
2025-06-14 19:09:12 UTC (2025-06-14) · approx. 9:09 AM UTC-10 local
On June 14, 2025 at 19:09 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 90 km SSW of Mākena, Hawaii, at a depth of 40.7 km and coordinates 19.9245°, -156.8395°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.1 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 102 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
