On June 28, 2025 at 19:35 UTC, a magnitude 5.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 24 km SSW of Puerto San José, Guatemala, at a depth of 66.3 km and coordinates 13.7159°, -90.8717°. This earthquake was detected by 63 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 391, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.7 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
