2021-06-20 18:37:17 UTC (2021-06-20) · approx. 11:37 AM UTC-7 local
On June 20, 2021 at 18:37 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 5 km WNW of Lucien, Oklahoma, at a depth of 7.5 km and coordinates 36.2848°, -97.5140°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 32.2 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.
