It is one of only 2 we have recorded within 20 km of this point since 4 June 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. One more was recorded here in the fortnight before it.

If you feel shaking: Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Move away from windows, heavy objects, and exterior walls. After shaking stops, check for injuries and structural damage. Be prepared for aftershocks, which can occur minutes to months after the mainshock. Follow instructions from local emergency management authorities.
