So far, we have received 3 reports for this quake from Albania. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 40–50 km (25–31 mi) distance.Most reports came from Elbasan (1 report), a city with more than 100,000 inhabitants in 36 km (22 mi) distance northeast of the epicenter, Albania. Further below is a list of places where most people reported this quake.This section is being updated as new data comes in.User reports estimate the perceived ground shaking intensity according to the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale.Contribute:Leave a comment if you find a particular report interesting or want to add to it.Flag as inappropriate.Mark as helpful or interesting.Send your own user report!TranslateElbasan (37.6 km ENE of epicenter) [Map] / Light shaking (MMI IV) / vibration and rolling / 5-10 s : Started slow but then increased in intensity.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)II: Very weak shaking244–45 km (27–28 mi)45 km (28 mi)IV: Light shaking137–37 km (23–23 mi)37 km (23 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (3 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Feb 24, 2026 08:00 pm (GMT +1)3 minutes ago - felt4.310 km0 km - This quakeQarku i Fierit, 43 km S of Tirana, Tirana, AlbaniaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake3 minutes ago reported feltFeb 24, 2026 19:00 GMT / Feb 24, 2026 08:00 pm (GMT +1)Lat / Lng: 40.95 / 19.71: AlbaniaSource: GFZOther sources: AUTH: 3.9 / 5 km, RaspberryShake: 4.3 / 10 kmDetail info | Read user reports | You felt it? - Report it!',4.3,43, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',40.95,19.71,'3 minutes ago: Mag. 4.3, Albania','Earthquake: Mag 4.3 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth3 minutes ago reported feltFeb 24, 2026 19:00 GMT / Feb 24, 2026 08:00 pm (GMT +1)Lat / Lng: 40.95 / 19.71: AlbaniaSource: GFZOther sources: AUTH: 3.9 / 5 km, RaspberryShake: 4.3 / 10 kmDetail info | Read user reports | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=22750280","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>
