Small magnitude 3.6 earthquake 28 miles southwest of Hobbs, New Mexico, United States A very shallow magnitude 3.6 earthquake was reported around noon near Hobbs, Lea County, New Mexico, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Thursday, May 8th, 2025, at 12:24 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 5.4 miles. 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 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Eunice (pop. 3,100) located 11 miles from the epicenter, Jal (pop. 2,200) 15 miles away, Hobbs (pop. 38,400) 28 miles away, and Kermit (pop. 6,400) 33 miles away. In Andrews (pop. 13,800, 43 miles away), Lovington (pop. 11,800, 44 miles away), and Carlsbad (pop. 29,000, 56 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
