People likely experienced light shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking.

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 shaking1189–189 km (118–118 mi)189 km (118 mi)III: Weak shaking1274–274 km (171–171 mi)274 km (171 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (2 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!

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 50 km2 (19 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 12 km (8 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 29, 2025 09:25 pm (Universal Time)9 minutes ago - felt5.780 km0 km - This quakeDepartamento de Santa Ana, El SalvadorMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake9 minutes ago reported feltJul 29, 2025 21:25 GMT / Jul 29, 2025 09:25 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 14.1302 / -89.7826: GuatemalaSource: EMSCOther sources: GFZ: 5.6 / 70 kmDetail info | Read user reports | You felt it? - Report it!',5.7,57, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',14.1302,-89.7826,'9 minutes ago: Mag. 5.7, Guatemala','Earthquake: Mag 5.7 / 80 km (50 mi) depth9 minutes ago reported feltJul 29, 2025 21:25 GMT / Jul 29, 2025 09:25 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 14.1302 / -89.7826: GuatemalaSource: EMSCOther sources: GFZ: 5.6 / 70 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=22003701","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)}})})();]]>
