2026-04-25 08:00:13 UTC (2 hours ago) · approx. 12:00 AM UTC-8 local
On April 25, 2026 at 08:00 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 2 km NE of The Geysers, CA, at a depth of 1.9 km and coordinates 38.7912°, -122.7440°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.5 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 122 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
