The depth of the quake could not be determined, but is assumed to be shallow.The earthquake was felt over a large region.. 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 | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Guatemala | Departamento de Escuintla | Departamento de Suchitepequez | Departamento de RetalhuleuHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Strong magnitude 5.0 earthquake at unknown depth30 Jul 07:00 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 2 minutes.30 Jul 07:07: Now using data updates from INETER30 Jul 07:07: Now using data updates from GFZUpdate Thu, 30 Jul 2026, 07:09Significant 5.0 quake hits near Tiquisate, Municipality of Tiquisate, Departamento de Escuintla, GuatemalaThe German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.0 quake in Guatemala near Tiquisate, Municipality of Tiquisate, Departamento de Escuintla, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit after midnight on Thursday, July 30th, 2026, at 12:58 am local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake as well.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.Moderate shaking probably occurred in Tiquisate (pop. 18,200) located 14 km from the epicenter.Weak shaking might have been felt in Santa Barbara (pop. 17,200) located 36 km from the epicenter, Patulul (pop. 40,700) 40 km away, Chicacao (pop. 60,700) 42 km away, La Gomera (pop. 24,000) 42 km away, Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa (pop. 112,800) 47 km away, San Sebastian (pop. 29,200) 49 km away, Escuintla (pop. 156,300) 71 km away, Villa Nueva (pop. 618,400) 99 km away, and Guatemala City (pop. 994,900) 111 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

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 felt1116–116 km (72–72 mi)116 km (72 mi)II: Very weak shaking748–247 km (30–153 mi)151 km (94 mi)III: Weak shaking1944–248 km (27–154 mi)112 km (70 mi)IV: Light shaking3012.6–118 km (7.8–74 mi)83 km (52 mi)V: Moderate shaking247–50 km (29–31 mi)49 km (30 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (71 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!
