Seismographs logged a magnitude 3.2 earthquake 2 km NW of Little America, Wyoming with origin time 10:13 UTC on July 16, 2026. Coming 44 hours after a magnitude 3.5 earthquake in the immediate vicinity, it is most likely an aftershock of that larger rupture. This very shallow event was close enough to the surface that even modest magnitudes can produce significant local shaking.
