Moderate 4.9 quake hits near Fort Portal, Kabarole, Western Region, Uganda 4.9 quake 14 Feb 8:28 am (GMT +3) An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred in the morning on Monday, February 14th, 2022, at 8:28 am local time near Fort Portal, Kabarole, Western Region, Uganda, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Fort Portal (pop. 42,700) located 1 km from the epicenter.
In Bundibugyo (pop. 16,900) located 25 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kyenjojo (pop. 18,600) located 38 km from the epicenter, Kamwenge (pop. 17,200) 55 km away, Kasese (pop. 67,300) 56 km away, and Ibanda (pop. 31,000) 90 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
