2026-10-17 19:30:56 UTC (6 days ago) · approx. 12:30 PM UTC-7 local
On October 17, 2026 at 19:30 UTC, a magnitude 2.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km ENE of Summit Park, Utah, at a depth of 11.8 km and coordinates 40.7492°, -111.5913°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 68.9 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 29 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
