Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface.

Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.3.
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.

Weak shaking might have been felt in Villa Isabela (pop. 3,900) located 14 km from the epicenter, Luperon (pop. 4,400) 17 km away, and Esperanza (pop. 42,200) 41 km away.
