On July 14, 2026 at 23:45 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 57 km WSW of Puerto Madero, Mexico, at a depth of 45.4 km and coordinates 14.6098°, -92.9384°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
