People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, St John's, 170 km (105 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry48 km (30 mi)NW of epicenterBeausejour(pop: 1,720)III: WeakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe65 km (40 mi)W of epicenterSaint-Francois(pop: 12,700)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe69 km (43 mi)W of epicenterGrand-Bourg(pop: 5,870)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe75 km (47 mi)W of epicenterSainte-Anne(pop: 22,900)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe75 km (47 mi)NW of epicenterLe Moule(pop: 22,700)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe85 km (53 mi)SW of epicenterMarigot(pop: 2,670)II: Very weakSaint Andrew Dominica86 km (54 mi)W of epicenterLe Gosier(pop: 28,700)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe89 km (55 mi)W of epicenterLes Abymes(pop: 53,500)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe91 km (57 mi)SW of epicenterCastle Bruce(pop: 1,390)II: Very weakSaint David Dominica91 km (57 mi)W of epicenterPetit-Canal(pop: 8,550)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe91 km (57 mi)W of epicenterPointe-a-Pitre(pop: 15,200)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe92 km (57 mi)W of epicenterCapesterre-Belle-Eau(pop: 19,800)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe96 km (60 mi)W of epicenterPetit-Bourg(pop: 25,000)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe97 km (61 mi)W of epicenterBaie-Mahault(pop: 30,800)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe98 km (61 mi)NW of epicenterAnse-Bertrand(pop: 5,150)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe98 km (61 mi)SW of epicenterPortsmouth(pop: 3,630)II: Very weak101 km (62 mi)SW of epicenterLa Plaine(pop: 1,330)II: Very weakSaint Patrick Dominica102 km (64 mi)W of epicenterLamentin(pop: 14,900)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe104 km (65 mi)W of epicenterPetites Anses(pop: 1,310)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe106 km (66 mi)SW of epicenterSaint Joseph(pop: 2,180)II: Very weakSaint Joseph Dominica107 km (67 mi)W of epicenterSaint-Claude(pop: 10,100)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe111 km (69 mi)W of epicenterBasse-Terre(pop: 11,500)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe111 km (69 mi)W of epicenterSainte-Rose(pop: 20,200)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe112 km (70 mi)SW of epicenterRoseau(pop: 16,600)II: Very weakSaint George Dominica113 km (70 mi)SW of epicenterBerekua(pop: 2,610)II: Very weakSaint Patrick Dominica115 km (71 mi)W of epicenterBouillante(pop: 7,540)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe118 km (73 mi)W of epicenterPointe-Noire(pop: 7,750)II: Very weakGuadeloupe, Guadeloupe Guadeloupe140 km (87 mi)S of epicenterBasse-Pointe(pop: 4,040)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique145 km (90 mi)S of epicenterSainte-Marie(pop: 20,400)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique150 km (93 mi)S of epicenterLa Trinite(pop: 15,000)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique150 km (93 mi)S of epicenterLe Morne-Rouge(pop: 5,470)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique155 km (96 mi)S of epicenterLe Gros-Morne(pop: 11,000)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique156 km (97 mi)S of epicenterLe Robert(pop: 23,800)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique156 km (97 mi)NW of epicenterSt. Paul Parish(pop: 8,130)II: Very weakParish of Saint Paul Antigua & Barbuda159 km (99 mi)S of epicenterSaint-Joseph(pop: 17,000)II: Very weakMartinique, Martinique Martinique165 km (103 mi)NW of epicenterUrlings(pop: 738)II: Very weakParish of Saint Mary Antigua & Barbuda170 km (105 mi)NW of epicenterSt John's(pop: 51,700)II: Very weakParish of Saint John Antigua & Barbuda178 km (111 mi)NW of epicenterSaint John's Village(pop: 627)II: Very weakParish of Saint Peter MontserratNotes:(*) 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)Jun 23, 2026 03:05 pm (GMT -4)4 minutes ago4.016 km0 km - This quakeNorth Atlantic Ocean, 47 km SE of La Desirade Island, GuadeloupeMain 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 228 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.52 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.9 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 5.8 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 24.5 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 151 quakes per year (or 12.5 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 219 quakes per year (or 18.3 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
