2025-11-30 23:48:59 UTC (2025-11-30) · approx. 5:48 PM UTC-6 local
On November 30, 2025 at 23:48 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km NNW of Cooter, Missouri, at a depth of 8.6 km and coordinates 36.0618°, -89.8187°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 34.5 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 21 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
