An intermediate to deep magnitude 4.3 earthquake was reported in the afternoon near Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia.
According to the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, the quake hit on Saturday, April 9th, 2022, at 4:34 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 152.1 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 Jordan (pop. 110) located 12 km from the epicenter, and Zapatoca (pop. 6,100) 13 km away.
