“Clearly felt” – noises audible: not a day without an earthquake in Tyrol

The series of earthquakes in Tyrol continues. The earth also shook on Saturday night, this time in the Ehrwald area. According to reports, the quake sounds were often audible. Minor damage can also be possible.

There is currently not a day without a report of an earthquake in Tyrol. After reports of earthquakes in the Kitzbühel district were recorded almost daily, this time it was the Ausserfern’s turn. A magnitude of 3.6 was measured there on Saturday at 12:06 a.m. As seismologist Nikolaus Horn from GeoSphere Austria explains, the earthquake was clearly felt by the population in the Ehrwald area in Tyrol. And further: “At this magnitude, there may occasionally be slight damage such as hairline cracks in the plaster; more severe damage is not to be expected at this magnitude.” Series on the border with Salzburg More than 60 measurable earthquakes were recently measured on the border with Salzburg. In many cases, the population was able to perceive these themselves. The earthquake service recently stated that the series in Pillerseetal could last for “several days”. The earthquake service asked that people use the awareness form, the app QuakeWatch Austria or send written reports to the address Hohe Warte 38, 1190 Vienna.
