Event facts
Estimated shaking · MMI II
Weak. Felt by people sitting still, especially on upper floors. Like a passing truck.
MMI is the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale — what people actually feel. This estimate is derived from magnitude alone; real shaking varies with depth, distance and local soil. The official USGS ShakeMap is the authoritative source.
What an M1.1 feels like
Micro earthquake. Generally not felt by people. Recorded by seismographs only.
No damage. Below the threshold most humans can perceive.
What a shallow depth means
Shallow earthquakes (under 70 km) release energy close to the surface, so they tend to be felt more strongly and cause more damage than deeper events of the same magnitude. Most earthquakes humans feel are shallow.
Energy released
This earthquake released roughly 2.63e+6 joules of seismic energy — about 0.00 thousandths of a Hiroshima bomb.
Caveat: bomb energy is concentrated at a single point in microseconds; seismic energy radiates outward through Earth's crust over many seconds. The comparison is for relative scale only.
