Magnitude 3.1 earthquake strikes near Quorn, Flinders Ranges, South Australia, Australia

A magnitude 3.1 earthquake near Quorn, Flinders Ranges, South Australia, Australia, was reported only 25 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 a very shallow depth of 4.3 miles beneath the epicenter early afternoon on Saturday, January 11th, 2025, at 2:02 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Cradock (pop. 31) located 13 miles from the epicenter, and Belton (pop. 18) 14 miles away. In Hawker (pop. 400, 20 miles away), Carrieton (pop. 44, 30 miles away), and Quorn (pop. 1,200, 45 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
