2021-07-14 21:41:49 UTC (2021-07-14) · approx. 1:41 PM UTC-8 local
On July 14, 2021 at 21:41 UTC, a magnitude 2.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 37 km NW of Stanley, Idaho, at a depth of 17.2 km and coordinates 44.4860°, -115.2283°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 30.1 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 20 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
