On April 16, 2025 at 18:11 UTC, a magnitude 2.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 13 km E of Kelly, Wyoming, at a depth of 6.5 km and coordinates 43.6131°, -110.4577°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 14 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
