6.1 quake 16 Feb 1:12 am (GMT -6)
Just 12 minutes ago, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Mazatenango, Suchitepeque, Guatemala. The tremor was recorded early morning on Wednesday, February 16th, 2022, at 1:12 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.0.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Pueblo Nuevo (pop. 18,200) located 27 km from the epicenter, Mazatenango (pop. 44,100) 40 km away, Nuevo San Carlos (pop. 19,200) 47 km away, San Pablo Jocopilas (pop. 20,300) 48 km away, and Chicacao (pop. 20,400) 49 km away.
In Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa (pop. 62,100) located 63 km from the epicenter, Coatepec (pop. 45,700) 65 km away, Escuintla (pop. 103,200) 88 km away, Mixco (pop. 473,100) 117 km away, and Guatemala (pop. 994,900) 127 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you're in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.
