On October 24, 2026 at 21:07 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 57 km NW of San Antonio, Puerto Rico, at a depth of 36.5 km and coordinates 18.9063°, -67.4233°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 985 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 99 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
