2026-06-24 17:47:12 UTC (2026-06-24) · approx. 9:47 AM UTC-8 local
On June 24, 2026 at 17:47 UTC, a magnitude 2.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 8 km N of Redwood Valley, CA, at a depth of 8.6 km and coordinates 39.3408°, -123.1935°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 124 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 38 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
