Magnitude 3.2 earthquake recorded off Fuerteventura
The Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) recorded a magnitude 3.2 mbLg earthquake in the early hours of this morning, at around 05:06 Canary Islands time, off the southwest coast of Fuerteventura. No damage has been reported.
Epicentre at sea off the coast of Pájara
The earthquake’s epicentre was located at sea, off the coast of Barlovento in the municipality of Pájara, with its focus at a depth of four kilometres.
The tremor was felt by the population with an intensity of II to III on the European macroseismic scale in around twenty locations across the south and along the entire west coast of the island.
What intensity II to III means
A level of II to III means the earthquake is felt by some people indoors. Those at rest experience a swaying sensation or a slight tremor, and hanging objects swing gently. However, no damage is caused to buildings or structures.
