2025-07-04 19:10:29 UTC (2025-07-04) · approx. 12:10 PM UTC-7 local
On July 4, 2025 at 19:10 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 18 km ESE of Wright, Wyoming, at a depth of 0.0 km and coordinates 43.6878°, -105.2837°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
