Magnitude 6.8 earthquake strikes near Jinotepe, Carazo, Nicaragua

6.8 quake 21 Apr 1:42 am (GMT -6)
6.8 quake 21 Apr 1:42 am (GMT -6)
Nicaragua was shaken near Jinotepe, Carazo, by an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 only 14 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Jinotepe, Carazo, Nicaragua, early morning on Thursday, April 21st, 2022, at 1:42 am local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as 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 data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.3. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) at magnitude 6.7, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 6.8, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 6.7, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.5.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
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 Masachapa (pop. 5,000) located 62 km from the epicenter, San Rafael del Sur (pop. 29,800) 72 km away, Diriamba (pop. 35,000) 92 km away, El Crucero (pop. 16,500) 93 km away, Jinotepe (pop. 29,500) 96 km away, Nagarote (pop. 26,300) 97 km away, San Marcos (pop. 23,300) 98 km away, La Paz Centro (pop. 23,500) 100 km away, Leon (pop. 144,500) 105 km away, and Managua (pop. 973,100) 108 km away.
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.
