On June 23, 2026 at 19:32 UTC, a magnitude 2.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 26 km SE of Dillon, Montana, at a depth of 5.0 km and coordinates 45.0473°, -112.3912°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21.3 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 17 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
