The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km beneath the epicenter early morning on Monday, August 3rd, 2026, at 2:21 am local time. 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.2.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.Weak shaking might have been felt in Changning (pop. 81,200) located 13 km from the epicenter, Xunchang (pop. 118,700) 17 km away, Yibin (pop. 836,300) 24 km away, Baixi (pop. 88,300) 26 km away, Jiang'an (pop. 67,800) 31 km away, Wenjiang (pop. 68,400) 32 km away, Qingfu (pop. 56,700) 32 km away, and Nanxi (pop. 96,100) 33 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. 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 (*)IV: Light shaking168–68 km (42–42 mi)68 km (42 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 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!
