Earthquake stats

Just 9 minutes ago, a magnitude-2.3 earthquake struck near Mexicali, Mexicali Municipality, Estado de Baja California, Mexico. The tremor was recorded late at night on Sunday, September 6th, 2026, at 10:59 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 3.17 km below the surface.
The event was reported by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which also listed the quake at magnitude 2.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as a light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Santa Isabel (pop. 29,300), located 0 km from the epicenter, and Vinas del Sol (pop. 2,500), 2 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Progreso (pop. 12,600), located 5 km from the epicenter, and Calexico (pop. 40,100), 9 km away. In Mexicali (pop. 1,032,700, 11 km away), El Centro (pop. 44,000, 18 km away), Puebla (pop. 15,200, 21 km away), Islas Agrarias Grupo A (pop. 2,000, 22 km away), Imperial (pop. 17,100, 25 km away), and Brawley (pop. 25,900, 39 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

A magnitude 4.1 earthquake occurred just 20 minutes ago, 31 km east of Popayán, Colombia, according to the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake.
The quake struck at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Popayán, Departamento del Cauca, Colombia, on the evening of Sunday, September 6th, 2026, at 8:58 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised over the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking may have been felt in Totoro (pop. 1,900), located 14 km from the epicenter; Popayán (pop. 318,100), 31 km away; Piendamo (pop. 44,000), 34 km away; Belalcazar (pop. 37,000), 49 km away; La Plata (pop. 19,300), 50 km away; Morales (pop. 29,700), 50 km away; and Villa Rica (pop. 18,800), 58 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake may have been felt as very weak shaking include Pitalito (pop. 135,700), located 69 km from the epicenter, and Santander de Quilichao (pop. 99,400), 69 km away.

An earthquake of magnitude 3.7 occurred on the morning of Monday, September 7, 2026, at 9:16 am local time near Wadeye, West Daly, Northern Territory, Australia, as reported by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Wadeye (pop. 1,900), located 32 miles from the epicenter.
