2024-10-13 14:49:37 UTC (2024-10-13) · approx. 9:49 AM UTC-5 local
On October 13, 2024 at 14:49 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 2 km N of Coronaca, South Carolina, at a depth of 0.0 km and coordinates 34.2823°, -82.0932°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 31.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 20 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
