Chiapas Registers Early-Morning M4.1 as Cluster of Small Quakes Hits Mexico

Officials say the events fell below the thresholds that trigger public seismic alarms.

Overview

  • The National Seismological Service reported multiple low-to-moderate tremors across several states between November 16 and early November 17.
  • In Chiapas, a magnitude 4.1 quake struck northwest of Cintalapa at 4:04 a.m. on November 17, following a magnitude 3.0 near Pichucalco at 1:10 a.m.
  • Earlier on November 16, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake occurred 363 km southeast of Cabo San Lucas with no reported damage and no tsunami alert.
  • Authorities confirmed that Mexico City’s alert system did not activate because the quakes did not meet magnitude and distance thresholds required by SASMEX.
  • SSN continues real-time monitoring nationwide, and officials have reported no significant impacts from the recent seismic activity.
