Officials conducted coastal checks after confirmation by multiple seismic networks.

Overview

  • The quake struck at 21:55 local time on September 3 near Manzanillo, Colima, and was felt in several Jalisco municipalities.
  • Mexico’s SSN placed the epicenter 18 km northeast of Manzanillo, while Jalisco’s seismic network reported it 0.5 km east at 16 km depth, reflecting routine variations in early estimates.
  • UNAM’s monitor logged coordinates near 19.18° N, −104.22° with an approximate depth of 15 km.
  • SASMEX sirens did not activate because the event fell below established distance‑magnitude thresholds for public alerts.
