This earthquake actually occurred about 40 hours ago, but is being reported again here, due to a change I just made.

I have just changed our earthquake feed from USGS Magnitude 5.0+ to EMSC (European Mediterranean Seismological Centre) Magnitude 6.0+. About 89% of all the automated USGS quakes posted here were for Magnitudes 5.0 to 5.9, and these were the least important reports. So this should reduce the frequency of such reports and only report the more important M6.0 and above.
