An earthquake of magnitude 3.7 occurred only 16 minutes ago 49 miles south of Carlsbad, Texas, United States, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 3.9 miles beneath the epicenter near Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA, early morning on Monday, July 28th, 2025, at 4:20 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 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.7 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 Mentone (pop. 19) located 34 miles from the epicenter, and Loving (pop. 1,400) 40 miles away. In Pecos (pop. 9,500, 45 miles away), and Carlsbad (pop. 29,000, 49 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

A very shallow magnitude 3.9 earthquake was reported early morning near Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Monday, July 28th, 2025, at 3:47 am local time at a very shallow depth of 3.5 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 3.9 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.9.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Mentone (pop. 19) located 35 miles from the epicenter, Loving (pop. 1,400) 40 miles away, Pecos (pop. 9,500) 46 miles away, and Carlsbad (pop. 29,000) 49 miles away. In Van Horn (pop. 1,900, 60 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
