Earthquakes shake Las Animas County in southern Colorado

Two earthquakes rocked two towns in southern Colorado Monday morning, just five minutes and seven miles apart, according to the US Geological Survey.

At 8:13 a.m., the USGS recorded a 3.8-magnitude earthquake near El Morro, a small town in Las Animas County 20 minutes from the Colorado and New Mexico borders.

The USGS recorded a second quake just five minutes later. The 4.3-magnitude quake struck seven miles north of El Morro, near the town of Hohen.

Those in the seismic zone reported weakness to mild shaking. According to the USGS, earthquakes of magnitude 3 to 5 are felt by many in the vicinity but do little damage.

No injuries or damage were reported as of 3 p.m. Monday, but the Las Animas County Emergency Management Team is investigating the area.

Las Animas County is located 190 miles south of Denver and home to several minor earthquakes, along with near parts of northern New Mexico. More than 600 earthquakes have been recorded within 80 miles of Trinidad over the past 10 years.

Of the 23 earthquakes that have occurred in Colorado so far this year, 21 originated in Las Animas County.

In early March, the southern province of Colorado recorded seven earthquakes in one day, all centered around Segundo — 14 miles west of Trinidad — and measuring above 2.5 magnitude.

It’s been more than a decade since Colorado was hit by several earthquakes of this magnitude in one area over a 24-hour period, according to the USGS.

Individuals living on the border of Wyoming and Colorado woke up to a 3.9-magnitude earthquake on June 2, the first to hit northern Colorado in months in January.
