Magnitude 3.1 – Earthquake in Lower Austria brings fear to the population

Date:

In the Gloggnitz area (Neunkirchen district), the earth shook again on Thursday afternoon. The magnitude 3.1 earthquakes around 1:45 p.m. were described by the population as “sometimes frightening,” GeoSphere Austria (Austrian Seismological Service) reported. The earthquake was strongly felt in the vicinity of the epicenter!

Small objects were occasionally moved or toppled over, according to GeoSphere Austria. “Even outside, the ground movements were weakly perceived.”

Cracks in the plaster cannot be ruled out
Very slight damage such as cracks in the plaster cannot be ruled out, especially in older buildings. Thursday afternoon’s event was “another earthquake in the series that started on March 30, 2023 with a strong magnitude 4.2 earthquake,” the experts from Vienna’s Hohe Warte stressed.
