2026-02-25 20:09:01 UTC (2026-02-25) · approx. 2:09 PM UTC-6 local
On February 25, 2026 at 20:09 UTC, a magnitude 2.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 9 km NW of Prague, Oklahoma, at a depth of 7.2 km and coordinates 35.5543°, -96.7418°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 73.9 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 30 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
