3.9 quake 11 Jun 9:30 pm (GMT -7)
Just 6 minutes ago, a 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck near Brawley, Imperial County, California, USA. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Friday 11 June 2021 at 9:30 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 2.2 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake.
