2025-06-24 23:21:09 UTC (2025-06-24) · approx. 4:21 PM UTC-7 local
On June 24, 2025 at 23:21 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 59 km NW of Toyah, Texas, at a depth of 6.9 km and coordinates 31.6300°, -104.2970°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
