Light magnitude 4.6 quake hits 46 km southwest of La Gomera, Guatemala early evening 4.6 quake 1 Jan 6:42 pm (GMT -6) An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred only 12 minutes ago 46 km southwest of La Gomera, Guatemala, the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INETER) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 16 km beneath the epicenter near La Gomera, Municipio de La Gomera, Departamento de Escuintla, Guatemala, early evening on Friday 1 January 2021 at 6:42 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.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in La Gomera (pop. 24,000) located 46 km from the epicenter, Puerto San José (pop. 18,700) 48 km away, Nueva Concepcion (pop. 11,100) 57 km away, Masagua (pop. 10,000) 68 km away, and Pueblo Nuevo Tiquisate (pop. 18,200) 68 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa (pop. 62,100) located 73 km from the epicenter, Escuintla (pop. 103,200) 80 km away, and Mazatenango (pop. 44,100) 99 km away.
