On June 24, 2026 at 23:07 UTC, a magnitude 2.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 10 km NNW of Redwood Valley, CA, at a depth of 7.5 km and coordinates 39.3507°, -123.2367°.

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.
