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 (*)I: Not felt131–31 km (19.4–19.4 mi)31 km (19 mi)IV: Light shaking136–36 km (22–22 mi)36 km (22 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.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 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)Apr 29, 2026 10:15 pm (Tegucigalpa)15 minutes ago4.15 km0 km - This quake40 km Al Noreste De Roatán, Islas De La Bahía, HondurasMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 11.2 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: 0.42 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.4 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 4.1 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 8.2 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 8.7 quakes per yearThe area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 30 weeks after a magnitude 4.6 earthquake had hit on Tuesday, Sep 30, 2025, at 08:35 pm (GMT -6 local time) in 72 km (45 mi) distance to the northeast:Mag. 4.6 earthquake 60 km N of Savannah Bight - Honduras - Sep 30, 2025 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 5.8.
