On June 12, 2025 at 21:14 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 20 km NNE of Maeser, Utah, at a depth of 0.0 km and coordinates 40.6385°, -109.4617°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
