The United States Geological Survey (USGS), which measured the strength of the earthquake at 6.1 on the moment magnitude scale, estimated that some 641,000 people in the region may have felt moderate shaking. Another 4.6 million people may have felt light shaking.

By analysing data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), IWO was able to determine that earthquake activity (6.0-9.9 magnitude) during the period 01 January to 12 October 2011 reached its highest level in 20 years. The 2011 data was compared with data for the corresponding period in each of the 19 previous years since 1992.
A total of 177 earthquakes in the range 6.0 to 10 magnitude on the Richter Scale have been recorded so far in 2011, compared to 149 for the same period in 2010 and 119 in 2009.
Recent earthquakes exceeding 6 magnitude on the Richter Scale have occurred in Tonga (08 Oct), northern Argentina (06 Oct), India/Nepal (18 Oct), Cuba (15 Sept), northern Sumatra (05 Sept), Vanuatu (03 Sept), Alaska (02 Sept), and East Timor (30 Aug).
Interestingly, the total number of earthquakes (magnitude 0-9.9 magnitude) recorded in 2011 is dramatically lower than the previous four years since 2007.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-3.1 earthquake just before 7:30 a.m. Monday was centered about 12 miles west of Trinidad, Colo.
The Las Animas County Sheriff's Office tells KMGH-TV in Denver there were no reports of damage.
Southern Colorado has had other earthquakes this year. A magnitude-2.8 quake struck late Sunday about 27 miles west of Trinidad.
In August, a magnitude-5.3 quake shook groceries off shelves and caused minor damage to homes in southern Colorado.
