Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) reported a magnitude 3.5 quake in Australia near Kingscote, Kangaroo Island, South Australia, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit after midnight on Wednesday, August 13th, 2025, at 12:32 am local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. 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 3.6. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.6.
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 Stokes Bay (pop. 54) located 4 miles from the epicenter, and Cassini (pop. 78) 4 miles away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Seddon (pop. 99) located 11 miles from the epicenter, Wisanger (pop. 110) 13 miles away, Kingscote (pop. 1,800) 23 miles away, and American River (pop. 260) 31 miles away.
