🇲🇽 Earthquake in Michoacán: Discrepancy in Magnitude Reports

‼️ On the morning of January 12, 2025, at 5:30 a.m. local time, a powerful earthquake struck the state of Michoacán, Mexico. The epicenter was located near the city of Coalcomán, with tremors felt across a wide area, including the city of Uruapan.

However, the reported magnitude of the earthquake varies depending on the source. The VolcanoDiscovery platform estimated the magnitude at 6.1, while other seismic agencies reported it as 6.2.

These differences in data may arise from variations in measurement systems and analysis methodologies, but both figures confirm that this was a significant event with potential impacts on the region.

Local authorities are continuing to monitor the aftermath. So far, no reports of major damage or casualties have been received. Residents are advised to stay vigilant for possible aftershocks and to take precautions.
