Un terremoto en Ourense alcanza una magnitud de 3.9 grados
Galicia recorded the largest earthquake in recent years in the early hours of Friday morning, with a magnitude of 3.9, its epicentre being located in the municipality of Laza in Ourense, although it was felt hundreds of kilometres away.

According to data collected by the National Geographic Institute (IGN), the latest measurements place this new tremor with an approximate magnitude of 3.9, and could be felt after midnight in the provinces of Ourense, Lugo and Pontevedra.

This earthquake was followed by a new tremor of 2.5 magnitude at around 1.30 am.

In the last week the south of Galicia has recorded more than fifty tremors, most of them in the area of Laza, but none of a magnitude like the one reached this morning.

Update as I came back to the computer and the opened tab. Now only two hours later a flurry of small earthquakes has happened in the map area (175 more) which would make it 2016 out of 2441 quakes and with a percentage of 82.6%. This is quite a big change in a matter of just 2 hours.

I think it is a small bug in the system as there hasn't been that many quakes in the last couple of hours, only 148 in total over the last 24 hours, so how that discrepancy could happen is puzzling to me and the screen capture taken just over two hours ago is witness to this. Perhaps just a bit of missing time or a different timeline. :huh:
I just checked again and now it is back to what it was, so the error must have been corrected or I re-entered the same timeline as before.
