On August 10, 2026 at 03:16 UTC, a magnitude 3.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 36 km WSW of Campo Acosta, Mexico, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 19.6906°, -105.5861°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 296 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
