ENC Summary

Single-source

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is currently the only allowlisted source on the desk for this item.

What to watch next

  • Whether the original outlet issues a correction or update.
  • Whether a second independent allowlisted outlet publishes on the same development.
  • Whether later excerpts change the numbers or the framing.

Claim states describe the source record, not independently verified truth. Green and cyan never mean “confirmed.”

One story, multiple sources

Side-by-side. No blending into a single official conclusion. Each outlet keeps its own link.

Attributed conclusion

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) updated the public record of this item. ENC is comparing source excerpts only — not deciding which version is true. Earlier they reported: “PAGER - GREEN ShakeMap - I Time 2026-10-04 11:12:48 UTC 2026-10-04 11:12:48 UTC at epicenter Location 22.829 N 144.673 E Depth 10.00 km (6.21 mi)” Later they reported: “Time 2026-11-03 16:48:13 UTC 2026-11-03 16:48:13 UTC at epicenter Location 24.144 N 141.673 E Depth 139.46 km (86.65 mi)” Open the original links in the timeline. The claim still belongs to the outlet.
