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 (*)IV: Light shaking1147–147 km (91–91 mi)147 km (91 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 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 100 km2 (39 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 17 km (11 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Mar 17, 2026 12:28 am (GMT -4)6 minutes ago6.015 km0 km - This quakeCaribbean Sea, Provincia de Santiago de Cuba, 88 km SE of Guantanamo, CubaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake6 minutes ago reported feltMar 17, 2026 04:28 GMT / Mar 17, 2026 12:28 am (GMT -4)Lat / Lng: 19.7946 / -74.4547: Cuba RegionSource: EMSCDetail info | Read user reports | You felt it? - Report it!',6.0,60, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',19.7946,-74.4547,'6 minutes ago: Mag. 6.0, Cuba Region','Earthquake: Mag 6.0 / 15 km (9.3 mi) depth6 minutes ago reported feltMar 17, 2026 04:28 GMT / Mar 17, 2026 12:28 am (GMT -4)Lat / Lng: 19.7946 / -74.4547: Cuba RegionSource: EMSCDetail 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=22816053","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)}})})();]]>
