On July 26, 2025 at 23:47 UTC, a magnitude 4.2 intermediate depth earthquake struck 13 km W of San Rafael del Yuma, Dominican Republic, at a depth of 123.0 km and coordinates 18.4405°, -68.8031°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 35 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 508 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
