Magnitude 4.6 earthquake strikes near Ponce, Segundo Barrio, Ponce Municipio, Puerto Rico A magnitude 4.6 earthquake occurred on Friday morning, September 18th, 2026, at 9:19 am local time near Ponce, Segundo Barrio, Ponce Municipio, Puerto Rico, according to the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because 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 reports.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Guanica (pop. 9,200), located 4 km from the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Yauco (pop. 20,300), located 13 km from the epicenter, Sabana Grande (pop. 9,000), 15 km away, Lajas (pop. 5,300), 17 km away, Guayanilla (pop. 5,200), 17 km away, San German (pop. 12,100), 19 km away, Penuelas (pop. 6,800), 26 km away, Maricao (pop. 1,200), 26 km away, Cabo Rojo (pop. 10,800), 27 km away, Hormigueros (pop. 11,900), 29 km away, Ponce (pop. 137,500), 34 km away, Bayamon (pop. 203,500), 97 km away, and San Juan (pop. 418,100), 105 km away.
