2025-09-13 19:12:14 UTC (2025-09-13) · approx. 11:12 AM UTC-8 local
On September 13, 2025 at 19:12 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 11 km WSW of Manton, CA, at a depth of 10.4 km and coordinates 40.3792°, -121.9862°.
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.
