Earthquake in Fulpmes: Strong vibrations on Thursday evening

In the Innsbruck-Land district, an earthquake of the strength was registered on Thursday evening 3.6, which was measured by the geosphere at 7:19 p.m. The quake in Fulpmes was particularly noticeable, where residents reported noticeable shocks. This is the second shock in this region within two days.

The geophysicists reported that some objects moved slightly while windows and furniture creaked and jars clinked. So far, however, no damage or serious incidents have been reported, which is positive, since earthquakes of this strength are usually classified as "low" and rarely result in serious consequences. Experts say that the likelihood of greater damage to such vibrations is extremely low.

Details on the event

The quake followed a previous earthquake that had already occurred in the region on Wednesday. The earthquakes of the past few days have raised awareness of geophysical activities in Tyrol, even if they generally do not lead to serious impairments. However, citizens often feel restless through such events, since the forces of nature are unpredictable.

Overall, the situation remains calm and the responsible bodies continue to monitor the situation. Future earthquakes cannot be excluded, but the previous experience shows that such weaker vibrations have mostly remained unproblematic in the past.
