The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.8 quake in the United States near Raton, Colfax County, New Mexico, only 14 minutes ago. The earthquake hit after midnight on Monday, July 27th, 2026, at 12:40 am local time at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake as well.Weak shaking might have been felt in Sequndo (pop. 120) located 20 miles from the epicenter, Raton (pop. 6,200) 21 miles away, and Raton (pop. 6,200) 21 miles away.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Trinidad (pop. 8,200) located 28 miles from the epicenter, Angel Fire (pop. 1,100) 41 miles away, Questa (pop. 1,800) 44 miles away, and Arroyo Seco (pop. 1,800) 48 miles away.
