4.4 quake 22 Nov 6:56 pm (GMT -3)

A magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Ovalle was reported 1 hour and 28 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 20 km beneath the epicenter early evening on Sunday 22 November 2020 at 6.56 pm local time. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
Our monitoring service at VolcanoDiscovery identified a second report from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.4 as well. A third agency, the National Seismological Center of the University of Chile, reported the same quake at magnitude 3.9.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Ovalle (pop. 77,100) located 55 km from the epicenter, Monte Patria (pop. 13,900) 77 km away, and Coquimbo (pop. 161,300) 94 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
