A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA, was reported only 8 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 4.3 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Friday, April 18th, 2025, at 8:01 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.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Toyah (pop. 98) located 39 miles from the epicenter. In Loving (pop. 1,400, 46 miles away), Van Horn (pop. 1,900, 52 miles away), Pecos (pop. 9,500, 52 miles away), and Carlsbad (pop. 29,000, 53 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

West Virginians should be prepared for a storm anytime

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A storm can impact the residents of West Virginia at any time so it is important to be prepared year-round.

Make sure you can receive alerts and warnings quickly through several different technologies no matter where you are–at home, at school, at work, or in the community.

Know your area’s severe weather risk and practice your emergency plan with your family and pets. In other words, know whether to shelter in place or go to your identified safe place, which could mean leaving town or deciding to stay with friends or family. 

Before extreme weather happens, it’s a good idea to invest in a NOAA Weather Radio. A public service offered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, weather information is broadcast directly and continuously from your nearest National Weather Service office. Click Emergency Alerts | Ready.gov to learn more.

Some communities use the Emergency Alert System, a national public warning system, to deliver warnings of imminent threats to specific areas. A severe weather threat such as a tornado warning can be sent by state and local public safety officials. If your community has outdoor warning sirens, become familiar with their warning tone(s).

If you don’t have a safe room you can access in an emergency, the next best protection is a small, interior, windowless room or basement on the
