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 the  Northern Mariana Islands, Saipan, 232 km (144 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry2 km (1 mi)SW of epicenterSanta Rita(pop: 7,500)III: WeakSanta Rita Municipality Guam3 km (2 mi)SW of epicenterAgat Village(pop: 3,290)III: WeakAgat Guam7 km (4 mi)N of epicenterPiti Village(pop: 1,670)III: WeakPiti Municipality Guam8 km (5 mi)NE of epicenterAsan-Maina Village(pop: 2,140)III: WeakAsan Guam10 km (6 mi)NE of epicenterChalan Pago-Ordot Village(pop: 6,820)III: WeakChalan Pago-Ordot Municipality Guam10 km (6 mi)NE of epicenterAgana Heights Village(pop: 3,940)III: WeakAgana Heights Guam10 km (6 mi)SE of epicenterTalofofo Village(pop: 3,220)III: WeakTalofofo Municipality Guam10 km (6 mi)NE of epicenterSinajana Village(pop: 2,850)III: WeakSinajana Municipality Guam10 km (6 mi)E of epicenterYona Village(pop: 6,480)III: WeakYona Guam11 km (7 mi)NE of epicenterHagatna(pop: 1,050)III: WeakHagatna Guam12 km (8 mi)S of epicenterUmatac Village(pop: 903)II: Very weakUmatac Guam13 km (8 mi)NE of epicenterMongmong-Toto-Maite Village(pop: 6,830)II: Very weakMongmong-Toto-Maite Municipality Guam14 km (9 mi)E of epicenterMangilao Village(pop: 15,200)II: Very weakMangilao Guam14 km (9 mi)NE of epicenterTamuning-Tumon-Harmon Village(pop: 19,700)II: Very weakTamuning Guam15 km (9 mi)NE of epicenterBarrigada Village(pop: 8,880)II: Very weakBarrigada Guam16 km (10 mi)S of epicenterMerizo Village(pop: 2,150)II: Very weakMerizo Municipality Guam16 km (10 mi)SE of epicenterInarajan Village(pop: 3,050)II: Very weakInarajan Guam21 km (13 mi)NE of epicenterDededo Village(pop: 44,900)II: Very weakDededo Guam27 km (17 mi)NE of epicenterYigo Village(pop: 20,500)II: Very weakYigo Municipality Guam96 km (59 mi)NE of epicenterSongsong(pop: 593)I: Not feltRota Northern Mariana Islands201 km (125 mi)NE of epicenterSan Jose(pop: 15,000): Not feltTinian Municipality Northern Mariana Islands232 km (144 mi)NE of epicenterSaipan(pop: 48,200): Not feltSaipan Northern Mariana IslandsNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this possible quake (5)The first report about ground shaking reached us after only 26 seconds. So far, we have received 5 reports for this unconfirmed quake from  Guam. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 30 km (19 mi) distance.Most reports came from Tamuning-Tumon-Harmon Village (2 reports), a town with 20,000 inhabitants in Tamuning in 14.2 km (9 mi) distance northeast of the epicenter, Guam, Santa Rita (1 report), a town with 7,500 inhabitants in 2.4 km (1.5 mi) distance southwest of the epicenter, and Yigo Village (1 report) (27 km or 17 mi to the northeast) in Yigo Municipality. 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.TranslateSanta Rita (0.1 km SSW of epicenter) [Map] / Light shaking (MMI IV) (reported through our app)Tamuning (18 km NE of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / very shortYigo guam (25 km ENE of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / horizontal (sideways) swinging / 5-10 sYigo guam (23.6 km NE of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / rattling, vibrating / 2-5 sGuam (13.5 km ENE of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II)List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsTamuning-Tumon-Harmon Village, Tamuning, Guam(Pop.: 19,685)14.2 km (9 mi)NE of epicenterII: Very weak shaking2Santa Rita, Santa Rita Municipality, Guam(Pop.: 7,500)2.4 km (1.5 mi)SW of epicenterIV: Light shaking1Yigo Village, Yigo Municipality, Guam(Pop.: 20,539)27 km (17 mi)NE of epicenterII: Very weak shaking1Dededo Village, Dededo, Guam(Pop.: 44,943)21 km (13 mi)NE of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (5 in total) could be used for statistics.What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the 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 shaking313.4–24 km (8.4–14.6 mi)18.4 km (11 mi)III: Weak shaking125–25 km (15.6–15.6 mi)25 km (16 mi)IV: Light shaking10–0 km (0–0 mi)0 km (0 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (5 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!
