Magnitude 4.5 earthquake strikes near Soledad, Monterey County, California, United StatesThe United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a magnitude 4.5 quake in the United States near Soledad, Monterey County, California, only 6 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Saturday 2 January 2021 at 6:42 am local time at a very shallow depth of 4 miles. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Tres Pinos (pop. 480) located 14 miles from the epicenter, Soledad (pop. 25,000) 14 miles away, Gonzales (pop. 8,500) 15 miles away, Ridgemark (pop. 3,000) 16 miles away, Chualar (pop. 1,200) 17 miles away, Hollister (pop. 37,500) 20 miles away, Greenfield (pop. 17,200) 20 miles away, and Salinas (pop. 157,400) 25 miles away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include San Jose (pop. 1,026,900) located 63 miles from the epicenter.
