Earthquake stats:

3.2 quake 15 Jan 11:16 pm (GMT -8)

An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 occurred only 8 minutes ago 29 miles northeast of Mammoth Lakes, California, United States, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 0.6 miles beneath the epicenter near Mammoth Lakes, Mono County, California, USA, late at night on Friday 15 January 2021 at 11:16 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Benton (pop. 280) located 8 miles from the epicenter. In Sunny Slopes (pop. 180, 25 miles away), Mammoth Lakes (pop. 7,900, 29 miles away), Dixon Lane-Meadow Creek (pop. 2,600, 37 miles away), Dixon Lane-Meadow Creek (pop. 2,600, 37 miles away), West Bishop (pop. 2,600, 38 miles away), and Hawthorne (pop. 3,300, 43 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

4.8 quake 16 Jan 6:48 am (GMT +8)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred early morning on Saturday 16 January 2021 at 6:48 am local time near Calaca, Province of Batangas, Calabarzon, Philippines, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 185 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.5. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.5.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hukay (pop. 2,200) located 8 km from the epicenter, Calaca (pop. 37,400) 11 km away, Balayan (pop. 50,100) 12 km away, Balayan (pop. 50,100) 12 km away, Calatagan (pop. 16,100) 16 km away, Taal (pop. 39,700) 16 km away, Bauan (pop. 33,600) 25 km away, Batangas City (pop. 237,400) 31 km away, Las Piñas (pop. 590,000) 71 km away, and Manila (pop. 1,600,000) 88 km away.
