2024-04-25 19:39:27 UTC (2024-04-25) · approx. 3:39 PM UTC-4 local
On April 25, 2024 at 19:39 UTC, a magnitude 3.6 intermediate depth earthquake struck 60 km NNW of San Antonio, Puerto Rico, at a depth of 92.0 km and coordinates 19.0023°, -67.2981°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 3.8 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 184 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
