According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 5. 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 Swiss Seismological Service (SED), which listed it as a magnitude 3.3 earthquake. 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 Vionnaz (pop. 1,700) 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 Monthey (pop. 17,800) located 8 km from the epicenter, Montreux (pop. 26,000) 17 km away, Vevey (pop. 19,900) 20 km away, and Martigny-Ville (pop. 18,300) 26 km away. In Pully (pop. 16,300, 29 km away), Lausanne (pop. 139,100, 31 km away), Renens (pop. 20,900, 35 km away), and Geneva (pop. 201,700, 55 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
