People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Mexico, Mexico City, 736 km (458 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(*)RegionCountry83 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterIsla San José(pop: 100)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico83 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterPlaya los Cocos(pop: 10)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico86 km (53 mi)NE of epicenterEl Manguito(pop: 821)II: Very weakTonala, Estado de ChiapasMexico87 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterEl Palmarcito(pop: 1,140)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico89 km (55 mi)NE of epicenterTopon(pop: 407)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico94 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterTamaulipas(pop: 1,570)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico96 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterColonia Central(pop: 816)II: Very weakPijijiapan, Estado de ChiapasMexico100 km (62 mi)NE of epicenterPijijiapan(pop: 50,100)II: Very weakEstado de ChiapasMexico736 km (458 mi)NW of epicenterMexico City(pop: 12,294,200): Not feltCiudad de MexicoMexicoNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare 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.

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)2026-04-05 21:17:17 (Hora de México)18 minutes ago4.116 km0 km - This quakeMexico: 100 km Al SUROESTE De PIJIJIAPAN, CHISMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1,100 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.14 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 7.2 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 3.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 295 quakes per year (or 24.6 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 1,100 quakes per year (or 2.9 quakes per day)Mag. 2 or higher: 1,100 quakes per year (or 2.9 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 17 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
