4.2 quake 2 Jul 10:20 pm (GMT -4)

A magnitude 4.2 earthquake near Calama, Provincia de El Loa, Antofagasta, Chile, was reported only 9 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 88 km beneath the epicenter late at night on Saturday, July 2nd, 2022, at 10:20 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Sierra Gorda (pop. 480) located 35 km from the epicenter, and Calama (pop. 143,100) 98 km away. In Antofagasta (pop. 309,800, 104 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
