An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 occurred early morning on Wednesday, August 27th, 2025, at 4:31 am local time near Morales, Departamento del Cauca, Colombia, as reported by The Colombian Geological Service (SGC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 0. km. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.2 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Morales (pop. 29,700) located 7 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Piendamo (pop. 44,000) located 18 km from the epicenter, Suarez (pop. 19,700) 26 km away, Villa Rica (pop. 18,800) 30 km away, Popayán (pop. 318,100) 32 km away, and Santander de Quilichao (pop. 99,400) 39 km
