Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia —

What happened:

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck about 74 kilometers east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on the Kamchatka Peninsula at 9:13 PM Central Time on Monday, November 2. The quake was centered roughly 76 kilometers below the surface, a depth that typically limits shaking at ground level.

Impacts:

No damage reports or felt reports accompanied the listing from the U.S. Geological Survey, and no tsunami warning was issued for this event. Shaking from a quake of this size and depth is usually felt lightly near the epicenter, if at all.

What to do:

- If you feel shaking, drop, cover, and hold on under a sturdy table until it stops.

- Stay away from windows, heavy furniture, and objects that could fall.

- Check for hazards such as broken glass or gas smells before moving around.

- Be ready for aftershocks, which can follow in the hours after a quake.
