Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency reported a 4.2-magnitude earthquake in Indonesia near Gorontalo, just 14 minutes ago. The earthquake struck on the evening of Sunday, September 19, 2021, at 9:36 pm local time at an average to a great depth of 206 km. The exact size, center, and depth of the earthquake may be reviewed within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and improve their calculations, or when other agencies release their report. The EMSC also classified it as a 4.2-magnitude earthquake, and according to initial calculations, we don’t expect many people to feel the earthquake and it didn’t cause any damage. In Gorontalo (population 144,200, 105 km away), the earthquake may not have been felt.
