2022-11-10 23:25:48 UTC (2022-11-10) · approx. 4:25 PM UTC-7 local
On November 10, 2022 at 23:25 UTC, a magnitude 2.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km ESE of Medicine Park, Oklahoma, at a depth of 20.9 km and coordinates 34.7228°, -98.4847°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 208 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 48 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
