Note: The map shows the area with a shaking intensity of 3 or greater, which the USGS defines as “weak,” although the earthquake may be felt outside the areas shown. All times on the map are Central European Time. The New York Times A moderately strong 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Spain on Saturday, according to the US Geological Survey. The tremor occurred at 1:04 a.m. Central European Time, about 5 miles southwest of Granada, Spain, agency data shows. As seismologists review available data, they may revise the reported magnitude of the earthquake. Additional information gathered about the earthquake may also prompt USGS scientists to update the tremor severity map.

When aftershock data are available, the corresponding maps and graphs include earthquakes within a 100-mile radius and seven days after the initial earthquake. All times above are Central European Time. Shake data is for Friday, August 14 at 7:31 pm Eastern Time. Aftershock data is as of Friday, August 14 at 8:34 pm Eastern Time.
