2026-08-11 08:00:28 UTC (2026-08-11) · approx. 1:00 AM UTC-7 local
On August 11, 2026 at 08:00 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 2 km NW of Little America, Wyoming, at a depth of -1.7 km and coordinates 41.5600°, -109.8860°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 112 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
