On July 20, 2026 at 21:32 UTC, a magnitude 1.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 14 km ENE of Huntsville, Utah, at a depth of 2.4 km and coordinates 41.3282°, -111.6232°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 1.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11.8 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 13 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
