2025-02-11 22:39:58 UTC (2025-02-11) · approx. 2:39 PM UTC-8 local
On February 11, 2025 at 22:39 UTC, a magnitude 2.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km ESE of Almanor, CA, at a depth of 1.2 km and coordinates 40.2165°, -121.1678°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 45.5 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 24 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
