2026-05-25 19:38:33 UTC (2026-05-25) · approx. 11:38 AM UTC-8 local
On May 25, 2026 at 19:38 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 18 km N of Leadore, Idaho, at a depth of 5.7 km and coordinates 44.8482°, -113.3617°.
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.
