Overview
- The quake measured magnitude 4.8 and was recorded about 61 km north of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with a focal depth near 30 km.
- The event was felt across parts of the Canary Islands, including Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura, with reports from multiple Gran Canaria municipalities.
- Seismological networks logged a sequence of smaller shocks the same morning, including a M2.1 between Gran Canaria and Tenerife and later M2.2 and M3.3 events north of Gran Canaria.
- The Instituto Geográfico Nacional rated the tremor intensity III on the European macroseismic scale, meaning a light shaking that typically causes no damage, and no damage has been reported.
- The Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias explicitly said the episode has no relation to Tenerife's volcanic seismicity and agencies will keep monitoring the area for any new activity.
