On November 10, 2026 at 16:16 UTC, a magnitude 2.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km N of Lake Davis, CA, at a depth of -1.4 km and coordinates 39.8785°, -120.4727°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 194 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 47 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
