Seismographs logged a magnitude 3.7 earthquake 51 km ENE of San Vicente, Mexico with origin time 23:54 UTC on January 11, 2026. The USGS PAGER system assigned a green alert level for this event, signalling no significant casualties or damage expected. Peak ground motion corresponded to MMI 4.2, classified as moderate shaking. At a depth of just 1.8 km, this was a very shallow event, close enough to the surface that modest magnitudes can produce significant local shaking. Coordinates: 31.490°, -115.745°. The solution has been reviewed by a USGS seismologist and is considered finalized. See the M3.7 event page for the full report, ShakeMap, and citizen-reported intensity data.
