On February 4, 2022 at 21:14 UTC, a magnitude 2.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 4 km NW of Lakeline, Ohio, at a depth of 6.2 km and coordinates 41.6914°, -81.4879°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60.0 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 27 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
