The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 30 miles east-southeast of the capital city of Reykjavik.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake measured 6.1 on the Richter scale, but the Icelandic Geological Survey is reporting that it was a 6.3.

Residents throughout the area were being told to leave homes and buildings, amid concerns about possible aftershocks.
