For most people (nearly 100%), the quake might only have felt as barely noticeable or weak shaking if at all (intensities I-III).MMI LevelShaking  (3,208,200 in total)Possible damageI Not felt2,493,200(77.71%)NoneII Very weak715,100(22.29%)NoneIII WeakProbably noneIV LightNone or minor onlyV ModerateMinorVI StrongMinor to ModerateVII Very strongModerateVIII SevereSignificantIX ViolentHeavyX ExtremeCatastrophicEstimated number of people exposed to shaking from the earthquake by intensity (data coverage corresponding to attached map)Map of expected ground shaking intensity according to the MMI scale (shakemap, source: USGS)Map with population density (from white to black) in the area around the quake's epicenter (source: USGS)Alert level for this earthquake: Level GREENBased on seismic and statistical models, USGS estimates that the risk of fatalities and damage from this earthquake is low. The main factors that contribute to this evaluation are:The maximum expected ground shaking from this quake was unlikely to reach dangerous levels over populated areas; it should not have surpassed intensity III (Weak) on the MMI scale significantly.The quake appears to have occurred far from densely populated areas (far as in relation to its magnitude).CommentOverall, the population in this region resides in structures that are a mix of vulnerable and earthquake resistant construction. The predominant vulnerable building types are mud wall and informal (metal, timber, GI etc.) construction.A magnitude 6.7 earthquake 282 km west of this event struck this region on June 24, 1984 (UTC), with estimated population exposures of 2,981,000 at intensity VI and 326,000 at intensity VII, resulting in a reported 5 fatalities.Source: USGSGreen alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. There is a low likelihood of casualties and damage.Expected fatalitiesThe risk of fatalities from this quake is considered low and classified as Level GREEN, the lowest on a color scale from Green (low) to Red (very high). USGS estimates that there is a 65.3% chance that there are no direct fatalities as effect of shaking and a 30.2% chance that between 1 and 10 fatalities occurred. The likelihood that there are more than 100 fatalities is less than 1%.Expected economic damageThe economic impact of this earthquake is expected to be minimal or small (Level GREEN). Only light damage if any should have occurred. USGS calculates an 65.3% chance of total economic loss in the range of 0-1 million US Dollars and a 30.2% risk of losses between 1 and 10 million US Dollars. Total economic loss from this quake is not likely to surpass 10 million US Dollars (less than 1% chance). Ground shaking from this quakeMap of estimated ground shaking (source:USGS)Most recent quakes Top 20 past 24 hrs Quakes in Puerto RicoNearby placesThe closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Bayamon, a city with more than 200,000 inhabitants in Puerto Rico, in 99 km (62 mi) distance northeast of the epicenter. People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of  Puerto Rico, San Juan, 108 km (67 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry23 km (14 mi)N of epicenterMaria Antonia(pop: 1,480)III: WeakCarenero Barrio, Guanica Municipio Puerto Rico23 km (14 mi)N of epicenterGuanica(pop: 9,220)III: WeakGuanica Barrio-Pueblo, Guanica Municipio Puerto Rico27 km (17 mi)N of epicenterGuayanilla(pop: 5,210)III: WeakGuayanilla Municipio Puerto Rico29 km (18 mi)N of epicenterYauco(pop: 20,300)III: WeakYauco Municipio Puerto Rico32 km (20 mi)NW of epicenterLa Parguera(pop: 1,140)III: WeakParguera Barrio, Lajas Municipio Puerto Rico34 km (21 mi)NE of epicenterPonce(pop: 137,500)III: WeakSegundo Barrio, Ponce Municipio Puerto Rico42 km (26 mi)NE of epicenterPotala Pastillo(pop: 3,820)III: WeakCapitanejo Barrio, Juana Diaz Municipio Puerto Rico43 km (27 mi)NW of epicenterSabana Eneas(pop: 1,850)III: WeakMaresua Barrio, San German Municipio Puerto Rico43 km (27 mi)NW of epicenterPole Ojea(pop: 1,830)III: WeakLlanos Costa Barrio, Cabo Rojo Municipio Puerto Rico48 km (30 mi)NE of epicenterGuayabal(pop: 2,380)III: WeakJuana Diaz Municipio Puerto Rico50 km (31 mi)NW of epicenterPuerto Real(pop: 6,170)III: WeakMiradero Barrio, Cabo Rojo Municipio Puerto Rico53 km (33 mi)NE of epicenterJauca(pop: 1,840)III: WeakSanta Isabel Municipio Puerto Rico54 km (34 mi)NE of epicenterLos Llanos(pop: 2,300)III: WeakCoamo Municipio Puerto Rico58 km (36 mi)N of epicenterCayuco(pop: 1,280)III: WeakCaguana Barrio, Utuado Municipio Puerto Rico60 km (37 mi)N of epicenterJuncal(pop: 1,160)II: Very weakSan Sebastian Municipio Puerto Rico63 km (39 mi)NW of epicenterEspino(pop: 1,420)II: Very weakAnasco Puerto Rico66 km (41 mi)NE of epicenterCoco(pop: 5,800)II: Very weakLapa Barrio, Salinas Municipio Puerto Rico71 km (44 mi)NE of epicenterPastos(pop: 1,530)II: Very weakPasto Barrio, Aibonito Puerto Rico72 km (45 mi)N of epicenterRafael Gonzalez(pop: 2,330)II: Very weakCampo Alegre Barrio, Hatillo Municipio Puerto Rico73 km (45 mi)E of epicenterJobos(pop: 3,480)II: Very weakGuayama Municipio Puerto Rico74 km (46 mi)NW of epicenterLuyando(pop: 3,550)II: Very weakNaranjo Barrio, Aguada Puerto Rico74 km (46 mi)N of epicenterBajadero(pop: 3,880)II: Very weakDomingo Ruiz Barrio, Arecibo Puerto Rico74 km (46 mi)N of epicenterCacao(pop: 2,070)II: Very weakSan Antonio Barrio, Quebradillas Municipio Puerto Rico75 km (46 mi)NW of epicenterStella(pop: 1,290)II: Very weakPueblo Barrio, Rincon Municipio Puerto Rico75 km (47 mi)NE of epicenterFranquez(pop: 2,020)II: Very weakFranquez Barrio, Morovis Municipio Puerto Rico79 km (49 mi)N of epicenterMora(pop: 1,860)II: Very weakGuerrero Barrio, Municipio de Isabela Puerto Rico80 km (50 mi)NE of epicenterComerio(pop: 4,650)II: Very weakComerio Barrio-Pueblo, Comerio Municipio Puerto Rico80 km (50 mi)NE of epicenterManati(pop: 16,100)II: Very weakManati Barrio-Pueblo, Manati Municipio Puerto Rico81 km (50 mi)N of epicenterBarceloneta(pop: 22,300)II: Very weakFlorida Afuera Barrio, Barceloneta Puerto Rico83 km (51 mi)NE of epicenterCorozal(pop: 11,300)II: Very weakCorozal Municipio Puerto Rico87 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterVega Baja(pop: 29,300)II: Very weakVega Baja Municipio Puerto Rico88 km (55 mi)NE of epicenterVega Alta(pop: 12,000)II: Very weakVega Alta Municipio Puerto Rico93 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterAguas Buenas(pop: 4,580)II: Very weakAguas Buenas Puerto Rico96 km (59 mi)NE of epicenterCandelaria(pop: 17,600)II: Very weakToa Baja Municipio Puerto Rico96 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterDorado(pop: 13,100)II: Very weakHiguillar Barrio, Dorado Municipio Puerto Rico99 km (62 mi)NE of epicenterBayamon(pop: 203,500)II: Very weakBayamon Barrio-Pueblo, Bayamon Municipio Puerto Rico100 km (62 mi)NE of epicenterGuaynabo(pop: 81,400)II: Very weakGuaynabo Municipio Puerto Rico101 km (63 mi)NE of epicenterLevittown(pop: 29,800)II: Very weakSabana Seca Barrio, Toa Baja Municipio Puerto Rico105 km (65 mi)NE of epicenterCatano(pop: 28,100)II: Very weakCatano Barrio-Pueblo, Catano Municipio Puerto Rico108 km (67 mi)NE of epicenterSan Juan(pop: 418,100)II: Very weakSan Juan Puerto RicoNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quake (1)So far, we have received 1 report for this quake.

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 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Oct 6, 2025 10:01 pm (Puerto Rico)39 minutes ago4.012 km0 km - This quakeCaribbean Sea, 34 km SW of Ponce, Ponce Municipio, Puerto RicoMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 55 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 4,100 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.03 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 31.3 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.39 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.6 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 18.7 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 373 quakes per year (or 31.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 3,100 quakes per year (or 8.5 quakes per day)Mag. 1 or higher: 4,100 quakes per year (or 11.2 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity.
