4.6 quake 27 Oct 12:53 am (GMT +1)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred only 7 minutes ago 28 km southeast of Los Llanos de Aridane, Spain, Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 23 km beneath the epicenter near Los Llanos de Aridane, La Palma Island, Canary Islands, Spain, after midnight on Wednesday, October 27th, 2021, at 12:53 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.6 earthquake as well.
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 Fuencaliente de la Palma (pop. 1,900) located 8 km from the epicenter, Mazo (pop. 4,800) 21 km away, Breña Baja (pop. 4,200) 23 km away, Brena Alta (pop. 7,100) 26 km away, El Paso (pop. 7,100) 26 km away, Tazacorte (pop. 5,700) 27 km away, Los Llanos de Aridane (pop. 20,800) 28 km away, and Santa Cruz de La Palma (pop. 17,100) 30 km away.
