So far, we have received 4 reports for this quake from the Philippines. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 850 km (528 mi) distance.Most reports came from Magugpo Poblacion (1 report), a city with more than 230,000 inhabitants in Davao in 120 km (75 mi) distance west of the epicenter, Philippines.

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 shaking1827–827 km (514–514 mi)827 km (514 mi)III: Weak shaking279–120 km (49–74 mi)99 km (62 mi)IV: Light shaking1132–132 km (82–82 mi)132 km (82 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (4 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I 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!

Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.MagDepthTime GMT2025-10-11EpicenterAgency5.662 km39 mi10:27:25.22MINDANAO, PHILIPPINESEMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre)5.510 km6.2 mi(*)10:27:20.78Mindanao, Philippines3.7 km (2.3 mi) epicenter difference with EMSCGFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences)Notes:(*) A depth given as 10 km often means that the the depth of the quake could be not determined with sufficient accuracy.Earthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 825 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 10.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.39 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.6 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 5.1 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 59 quakes per year (or 4.9 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 217 quakes per year (or 18.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 677 quakes per year (or 56 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 824 quakes per year (or 69 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 12 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
