Just 21 minutes ago, a 3.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Masaya, Departamento de Masaya, Nicaragua. The tremor was recorded early morning on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, at 6:38 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 9. km below the surface.The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.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 Nindiri (pop. 7,100) located 1 km from the epicenter, Masaya (pop. 130,100) 3 km away, Masatepe (pop. 21,500) 10 km away, and San Marcos (pop. 23,300)…

An earthquake of magnitude 2.6 occurred early morning on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, at 3:10 am local time near Ontario, San Bernardino County, California, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 2.8 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 2.6 earthquake as…
