The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 5 km beneath the epicenter near Brest, Finistère, Bretagne, France, around noon on Tuesday, October 24th, 2023, at 12:21 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 2.9 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 Plouzane (pop. 13,100) located 4 km from the epicenter. Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Guilers (pop. 7,300) located 6 km from the epicenter, Brest (pop. 144,900) 6 km away, Rd pt des Chataigniers, Rte de Milizac, Guilers, Finistère, France (pop. 8,000) 7 km away, Saint-Renan (pop. 7,200) 8 km away, Le Relecq-Kerhuon (pop. 11,900) 13 km away, and Guipavas (pop. 13,800) 14 km away. In Landerneau (pop. 16,100, 24 km away), the quake was probably not felt. Earthquake data: Date & time: Oct 24, 2023 12:21 pm (GMT +2) local time (24 Oct 2023 10:21 GMT) Magnitude: 2.9 Depth: 5.0 km Epicenter latitude / longitude: 48.37°N / 4.56°W (Finistère, Bretagne, France) Primary data source: RENASS https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquake/news/224278/Small-earthquake-of-magnitude-29-just-reported-6-km-southwest-of-Brest-France.html
