The depth of the quake could not be determined, but is assumed to be shallow.The quake was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in the US | New Mexico | TexasHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Moderate magnitude 4.7 earthquake at unknown depth6 Apr 20:05 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 4 minutes.6 Apr 20:07: Now using data updates from GFZUpdate Mon, 6 Apr 2026, 20:07Seismic-like event, possible earthquake, reported few minutes ago near Artesia, New Mexico, USAUnconfirmed quake or seismic-like event reported: Near Artesia, New Mexico, USA, 7 minutes agoWe are receiving unverified early reports of ground shaking possibly caused by seismic activity in or near Artesia, New Mexico, USA on 6 Apr 2026 (GMT) at approximately 20:00 GMT.There are no details yet on the magnitude or depth of this possible quake.

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 shaking248–256 km (30–159 mi)152 km (95 mi)III: Weak shaking21.2–14.9 km (0.8–9.2 mi)8.1 km (5 mi)IV: Light shaking34.9–74 km (3.1–46 mi)43 km (27 mi)V: Moderate shaking14.4–4.4 km (2.7–2.7 mi)4.4 km (2.7 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (8 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 5 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 6, 2026 02:01 pm (GMT -6)7 minutes ago - felt4.710 km0 km - This quake28 mi S of Artesia, Eddy County, New Mexico, United StatesMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake7 minutes ago reported feltApr 6, 2026 20:01 GMT / Apr 6, 2026 02:01 pm (GMT -6)Lat / Lng: 32.455 / -104.244: New MexicoSource: GFZDetail info | Read user reports | You felt it? - Report it!',4.7,47, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',32.455,-104.244,'7 minutes ago: Mag. 4.7, New Mexico','Earthquake: Mag 4.7 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth7 minutes ago reported feltApr 6, 2026 20:01 GMT / Apr 6, 2026 02:01 pm (GMT -6)Lat / Lng: 32.455 / -104.244: New MexicoSource: GFZDetail 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=22883341","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)}})})();]]>
