The morning in the province of Guadalajara began with an unexpected event: residents in several small towns felt mild tremors. An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.1 was recorded near Yebra, just three kilometers from the town. The seismic activity occurred at a considerable depth, which likely explains its low intensity at the surface.
The tremor went virtually unnoticed by most people in the region. However, in places like Pozo de Almoguera, Escopete, and Escariche, some residents did feel a light shaking of the ground. There have been no reports of damage or injuries, helping to prevent panic or worry among the local population.
Nevertheless, even minor tremors attract the interest of both experts and locals. To collect information about the aftermath and residents’ experiences, people have been asked to fill out a special questionnaire. It asks where you were during the quake, what you were doing, how you reacted to the shaking, and whether you noticed objects moving or falling.
Data gathered from eyewitnesses help seismologists better assess the strength and impact of the tremors. Combined with seismograph readings, this information allows for a more complete picture of the event and helps ensure timely updates about potential risks to the public.
No significant seismic activity has been recorded in this area over the past week. However, a minor tremor was registered here a month before today’s event. Today’s earthquake is the most noticeable in the past six months, surpassing the episode in July when the magnitude reached 2.2.
As RUSSPAIN.COM reported earlier, a similar incident occurred in Navarra, where a daytime earthquake with a magnitude of 3.5 was recorded. The epicenter was near Uztarroz, and residents of nearby villages also felt slight tremors. You can read more about the local response and consequences in our previous publication.
