On June 23, 2026 at 19:32 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 26 km SE of Dillon, Montana, at a depth of 5.0 km and coordinates 45.0398°, -112.4023°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 30.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 20 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
