4.1 quake 16 Aug 6:54 pm (GMT +9)

Just 12 minutes ago, a 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Wakkanai, Wakkanai Shi, Hokkaido, Japan. The tremor was recorded early evening on Tuesday, August 16th, 2022, at 6:54 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.1 earthquake as well. A third agency, Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.0.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Nakagawa (pop. 1,600) located 10 km from the epicenter, Horonobe (pop. 2,400) 23 km away, and Toyotomi (pop. 4,100) 34 km away.

A magnitude 3.0 earthquake near Anchor Point, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, was reported only 8 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 43 miles beneath the epicenter in the evening on Monday, August 15th, 2022, at 9:36 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.0 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.0.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 15 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 26 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 28 miles away), Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 33 miles away), and Cohoe (pop. 1,400, 46 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 39.1 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Samanai (pop. 4,500) located 45 km from the epicenter, and Shizunai-furukawachō (pop. 22,400) 95 km away.

We are receiving unverified early reports of ground shaking possibly caused by seismic activity in or near San Salvador, San Salvador, El Salvador on 16 Aug 2022 (GMT) at approximately 03:43 GMT.
There are no details yet on the magnitude or depth of this possible quake. If confirmed, we can expect more accurate data to emerge in the next few minutes. The location, magnitude and time mentioned are indicative, based on our best-fit seismic model. They are temporary until our AllQuakes monitoring service receives more exact scientific data from a national or international seismological agency. Check back here shortly and stay safe.

4.6 quake 15 Aug 10:21 pm (GMT -3)

An intermediate to deep magnitude 4.6 earthquake was reported late at night near San Antonio de los Cobres, Departamento de Los Andes, Salta, Argentina.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Monday, August 15th, 2022, at 10:21 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 171.2 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6 as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include San Antonio de los Cobres (pop. 4,000) located 82 km from the epicenter.

4.9 quake 15 Aug 6:09 pm (GMT +11)

Just 18 minutes ago, a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia. The tremor was recorded early evening on Monday, August 15th, 2022, at 6:09 pm local time, at a moderately shallow depth of 64 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.9.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) located 69 km from the epicenter, Paratunka (pop. 1,800) 77 km away, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy (pop. 187,300) 77 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Yelizovo (pop. 40,700) located 95 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

4.4 quake 14 Aug 5:59 pm (GMT -3)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 occurred in the afternoon on Sunday, August 14th, 2022, at 5:59 pm local time near San Antonio de los Cobres, Departamento de Los Andes, Salta, Argentina, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 172 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.4 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.6.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In San Antonio de los Cobres (pop. 4,000, 75 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
