Seismic sequence in central Italy: update, 3 November at 9.00. The strongest quake since the last update (November 02, 11:00 Italian time) is the one located tonight, November 3, 2016 at 01:35 Italian time (00:35 UTC) of magnitude Mw 4.7 (ML 4.8) in the province of Macerata about 2 km from Pieve Torina (MC) and 12 km from Camerino (MC).
The seismic sequence continues with a total number of aftershocks equal to about 22.200 since 24 August. At 09:00 today, November 3, there are about 634 earthquakes with a magnitude between 3 and 4, 41 with a magnitude between 4 and 5 and 5 with a magnitude greater than or equal to 5 located by National Seismic Network of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV).
In the map below the evolution of the sequence started on August 24th 2016.
The seismic sequence map from 24 August.
After the event on October 30, at 07:40 ET of magnitude M 6.5 a total of over 2200 seismic events have been located. At 09:00 today, November 3, there are about 290 earthquakes with a magnitude between 3 and 4 and 20 with a magnitude between 4 and 5 located by INGV National Seismic Network.

The strongest quake since the last update (November 02, 11:00 Italian time) is the one located tonight, November 3, 2016 at 01:35 Italian time (00:35 UTC) of magnitude Mw 4.7 (ML 4.8) in the province of Macerata about 2 km from Pieve Torina (MC) and 12 km from Camerino (MC).
According to the questionnaires that have arrived so far on the site http://www.haisentitoilterremoto.it/, this earthquake was distinctly felt in much of central Italy. Below is the map (updated at 09:46) showing the distribution of grievances on the territory on the MCS scale (Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg).
Map of seismic effect in MCS scale (Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg) showing the distribution of the effects of the earthquake on the territory as reconstructed from the online questionnaires. The map contains a legend (on the right). The purple star indicates the epicenter of the earthquake, the colored circles refer to the intensities associated with each municipality. The caption above shows the characteristics of the earthquake: date, magnitude (ML), depth (Prof) and local time. The number of questionnaires processed to obtain the map itself is also indicated.
