Small magnitude 3.0 earthquake 43 miles southwest of Malaga, Texas, United States
3.0 quake 6 Mar 10:38 pm (GMT -6)

A magnitude 3.0 earthquake near Malaga, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA, was reported only 22 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 4 miles beneath the epicenter late at night on Sunday, March 6th, 2022, at 10:38 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 3.0 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.0.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Malaga (pop. 150, 43 miles away), and Loving (pop. 1,400, 46 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
