Significant earthquake of magnitude 5.0 just reported 89 km southeast of Naha, Japan 5.0 quake 19 Oct 12:51 pm (GMT +9) A shallow magnitude 5.0 earthquake was reported around noon near Naha, Naha Shi, Okinawa, Japan.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Thursday, October 19th, 2023, at 12:51 pm local time 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 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 Katsuren-haebaru (pop. 34,200) located 80 km from the epicenter, Gushikawa (pop. 65,300) 83 km away, Chinon (pop. 91,800) 85 km away, Okinawa (pop. 125,500) 86 km away, Itoman (pop. 57,200) 86 km away, Chatan (pop. 27,800) 87 km away, Tomigusuku (pop. 55,700) 88 km away, Naha (pop. 300,800) 89 km away, Ishikawa (pop. 22,400) 91 km away, and Naga (pop. 59,600) 97 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
