Moderate earthquake close to Tahiti
A moderate earthquake with a Magnitude of M4.7 occurred close to the Mahaeana coast of Tahiti, French Polynesia. As the epicenter of the earthquake is below the sea bed, the shaking on the island was rather limited. Experience reports from people in Papeete, where the earthquake was also felt, are talking about a weak shaking.
