Shaking was reported in Los Mochis, Culiacan, Zapopan and other areas.<\/p>\n<p>There were no immediate reports of damage.<\/p>\n<p>Did you feel it?<\/p>\n<p>Whether you feel shaking from an earthquake largely depends on three major factors &#8212; magnitude, distance and local soil conditions. Magnitude refers to the strength of the quake. The closer your location to the epicenter, the more likely you&#8217;ll feel the effects of seismic waves that become less intense as they move out from the fault. Generally, the looser the soil under your location, the greater the amplification.<\/p>\n<p>Aftershocks<\/p>\n<p>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/earthquakes\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/earthquakes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">earthquakes<\/a> are followed by a larger earthquake, in which case the first quake would then be called a foreshock. For example, the magnitude-9.1 Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011 was preceded by a magnitude-7.3 foreshock two days earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Aftershocks decrease over time, but can continue for days, weeks, months and years.<\/p>\n<p>Photos: What to Keep in Your Disaster Emergency Kit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A magnitude-6.0 earthquake was reported early Tuesday afternoon in the Gulf of California.
