4.6 quake 5 Feb 6:19 am (GMT +1)

A shallow magnitude 4.6 earthquake was reported early morning near Glogow, Głogów County, Lower Silesia, Poland.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Saturday, February 5th, 2022, at 6:19 am local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Grębocice (pop. 1,500) located 6 km from the epicenter, Polkowice (pop. 21,600) 6 km away, Glogow (pop. 68,500) 13 km away, and Lubin (pop. 77,500) 17 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Legnica (pop. 106,000) located 38 km from the epicenter, Nowa Sol (pop. 40,400) 40 km away, Leszno (pop. 63,600) 45 km away, and Bolesławiec (pop. 40,700) 50 km away.
