#1: 4.8 quake: S of Charters Towers, QLD (Australia), 23 Aug 2020 03h00 - 83 reports

A light to moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake hit in the outback of Queensland today, shortly after 1 pm local time. The epicenter of the tremor was in a sparsely populated area approx. 200 km SSW of Townsville, where many people felt a light shaking: "it was a ripple running through my house like a huge out-of-balance washing machine", one user reported.
No damage should have occurred from the quake. Only in the immediate area less than approx. 10 km distance from the epicenter, the tremor could have reached moderate shaking intensities to cause light damage, but there are no villages or towns within this radius (see shakemap).

#2: 3.7 quake: Western Mediterranean Sea (Algeria), 23 Aug 2020 14h25 - 13 reports
#3: 4.4 quake: Ecuador - Guayas, A 0.54km De Yaguachi, 23 Aug 2020 00h52 - 6 reports
