Magnitude 2.8 earthquake strikes near Katanning, Western Australia, Australia An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 occurred only 22 minutes ago 25 miles southeast of Katanning, Western Australia, Australia, Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles beneath the epicenter near Katanning, Western Australia, Australia, in the evening on Monday, February 16th, 2026, at 8:29 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 2.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 2.8.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Pallinup (pop. 78) located 10 miles from the epicenter, Coyrecup (pop. 42) 10 miles away, Jackitup (pop. 60) 11 miles away, and Gnowangerup (pop. 590) 12 miles away. In Nyabing (pop. 290, 18 miles away), Broomehill (pop. 380, 20 miles away), and Katanning (pop. 3,700, 25 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
