On July 5, 2025 at 19:12 UTC, a magnitude 2.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 7 km SW of Bogue, Kansas, at a depth of 9.6 km and coordinates 39.3207°, -99.7593°. This earthquake was detected by 35 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 110, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 120 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 37 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
