2025-04-03 19:20:48 UTC (2025-04-03) · approx. 11:20 AM UTC-8 local
On April 3, 2025 at 19:20 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 13 km SE of Boonville, CA, at a depth of 4.8 km and coordinates 38.9550°, -123.2355°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 34.5 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 21 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
