2022-06-21 20:41:41 UTC (2022-06-21) · approx. 4:41 PM UTC-4 local
On June 21, 2022 at 20:41 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 115 km N of The Valley, Anguilla, at a depth of 35.0 km and coordinates 19.2589°, -63.1206°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
