Felt by 11 people across nearby locations.
On September 19, 2026 at 20:07 UTC, a magnitude 2.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 6 km WNW of Lehi, Utah, at a depth of 6.1 km and coordinates 40.4132°, -111.9190°. This earthquake was detected by 35 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 63, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 13.6 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 14 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
The epicenter is located in Utah, a region characterized by the Wasatch Fault zone at the eastern margin of the Basin and Range Province, where east-west extension produces normal-fault earthquakes. The nearest mapped fault system is the Wasatch Fault. View all earthquakes in Utah.
