A shallow magnitude 3.4 earthquake was reported around noon near Bordertown, Tatiara, South Australia, Australia.
According to Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the quake hit on Thursday, October 12th, 2023, at 1:59 pm local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 3.4 as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Makin (pop. 29, 34 miles away), Bordertown (pop. 2,900, 37 miles away), Keith (pop. 1,300, 46 miles away), and Nhill (pop. 2,200, 46 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
