The quake had a very shallow depth of 27 km (17 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter.

So far, we have received 16 reports for this quake from Colombia. Out of these, 11 people indicated they felt it. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 150–200 km (93–124 mi) distance, with isolated cases to have felt the quake even 224 km (139 mi) away.The majority of reports came from Cali (6 reports), a city of 2.4 million people in Departamento del Valle del Cauca in 128 km (80 mi) distance south of the epicenter, Colombia, Armenia (1 report), a city with more than 300,000 inhabitants in Quindio Department in 128 km (79 mi) distance east of the epicenter, and La Ceja (1 report) (226 km or 141 mi to the northeast) in Antioquia.

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 felt5123–1,164 km (77–724 mi)567 km (352 mi)II: Very weak shaking4127–224 km (79–139 mi)152 km (94 mi)III: Weak shaking6121–132 km (75–82 mi)126 km (79 mi)IV: Light shaking1146–146 km (91–91 mi)146 km (91 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (16 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!
