Significant 6.5 quake hits near San Miguel, Departamento de San Miguel, El Salvador

6.5 quake 18 Jul 6:22 pm (GMT -6)
6.5 quake 18 Jul 6:22 pm (GMT -6)
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake near San Miguel, Departamento de San Miguel, El Salvador, was reported only 23 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 69.7 km beneath the epicenter early evening on Tuesday, July 18th, 2023, at 6:22 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 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 6.5 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.5, Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) at magnitude 6.4, Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) at magnitude 6.5, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 6.5.
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 Intipuca (pop. 3,500) located 43 km from the epicenter.
In San Rafael Oriente (pop. 19,100) located 68 km from the epicenter, Puerto El Triunfo (pop. 19,100) 70 km away, San Miguel (pop. 161,900) 75 km away, Santiago de Maria (pop. 15,000) 83 km away, San Francisco (pop. 16,200) 99 km away, Sensuntepeque (pop. 20,400) 129 km away, Soyapango (pop. 329,700) 148 km away, and San Salvador (pop. 526,000) 151 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.

Stop Russia's Agression - Support Ukraine
Significant parts of this website use brilliant open-source software developed by Ukrainians. Russia's unprovoked war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and the beautiful country of Ukraine is being destroyed. We cannot be silent even if the topic of this website has nothing to do with politics.
If you like to support Ukraine from abroad:
Ukrainians recommend the Come Back Alive charity. For other options, see StandWithUkraine.
