Significant magnitude 5.9 earthquake 35 km east of Masbate, Philippines

5.9 quake 16 Feb 2:10 am (GMT +8)
5.9 quake 16 Feb 2:10 am (GMT +8)
An earthquake of magnitude 5.9 occurred only 17 minutes ago 35 km east of Masbate, Philippines, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Masbate, Bicol, Philippines, early morning on Thursday, February 16th, 2023, at 2:10 am 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.7. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.9, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.6.
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 Uson (pop. 4,400) located 20 km from the epicenter, Masbate (pop. 47,500) 35 km away, and Bulan (pop. 28,500) 40 km away.
In Irosin (pop. 20,700) located 43 km from the epicenter, Sorsogon (pop. 82,700) 73 km away, Calbayog City (pop. 67,900) 77 km away, Catarman (pop. 47,400) 78 km away, and Legazpi (pop. 179,500) 94 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.
