Earthquake in Puerto Vallarta

Posted by grant on May 4, 2013

I have not heard anything official yet, but we felt a small earthquake here in Vallarta this evening… it was barely noticeable, so probably about a 4 on the Richter Scale.

The only reason I make mention of it is because I see I have been getting a few hits on a post I put up about a bigger quake that hit south of Colima last year.

If you are wondering if there were any damages, or if you have family here now, and you are concerned for their well being, there is nothing to worry about.  The earthquake was very light (many people didn’t even notice it).

Edit:
I tried to get a little more information about the earthquake that hit near Puerto Vallarta yesterday, 4 May 2013.  It was rated at 4.4 by the USGS, 4.9 in a google alert, 4.6 by the local papers, and 5.0 on some other websites… take your pick!  The epicenter was somewhat inland, about 36 kilometers south of Talpa de Allende, and about 10 kilometers deep. Still no reports of damage… but I would not expect any from such a mild quake.
