3.2 – 3.7 km light earthquake southeast of Dixon Lane Meadow Creek, Inyo County, California, USA, on Friday, November 19, 2021 at 5:52 pm local time
Today, the Earth shook in California, USA, with a magnitude of 3.2. According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred on Friday, November 19, 2021 at 5:52 pm local time 3.7 km southeast of Dixon Lane-Meadow Creek (Inyo County, California) at a depth of 8.5 km. The strength, exact location of the epicenter and depth of the earthquake can be corrected in the next few hours, while seismologists manually evaluate the data and refine their calculations.
A second agency, the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), gave the earthquake a magnitude of 3.2.
Based on the initial seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any damage. However, many people near the epicenter could have felt it as a slight shaking.
Some locations near the epicenter where the earthquake may have been felt based on initial estimates are Dixon Lane-Meadow Creek (2600 pop 4 km, slight ground shaking expected), West Bishop (2600 pop 6 km distance, slight ground shaking) , Wilkerson (560 pop. 9 km, very light shaking) and Big Pine (1800 pop. 15 km, very light shaking). At Mammoth Lakes (which is 7,900 inhabitants, 61 km) the earthquake may not have been felt.

Even if you don’t feel itEven though you were around, this is interesting information that you might like I can share! Original earthquake reports from users are of great interest to earthquake research, as they help in improving models about ground vibrations and thus potential earthquake risks. You can use Fix your device’s position or drag the animated marker on the map to your location to indicate your location at the time of the earthquake (optional). Thank you so much!
Compare earthquake data from different agencies
Tip: The more different agencies report the same earthquake, the more reliable the data and the more accurate one can derive the average value for the magnitude, depth, etc. It usually takes a few hours for the seismic data to be accurately assessed and for the information to be of reliable accuracy. This often causes the volume and other data to correct up or down over and over again in the first few hours.
