People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry63 km (39 mi)S of epicenterLaikit, Laikit II (Dimembe)(pop: 8,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Minahasa Utara, Sulawesi UtaraIndonesia66 km (41 mi)S of epicenterManado(pop: 451,900)II: Very weakSulawesi UtaraIndonesia69 km (43 mi)S of epicenterBitung(pop: 137,400)II: Very weakSulawesi UtaraIndonesia69 km (43 mi)S of epicenterBitung(pop: 225,100)II: Very weakSulawesi UtaraIndonesia84 km (52 mi)S of epicenterTondano(pop: 33,300)II: Very weakKabupaten Minahasa, Sulawesi UtaraIndonesia85 km (53 mi)S of epicenterTomohon(pop: 27,600)II: Very weakSulawesi UtaraIndonesia181 km (113 mi)N of epicenterTahuna(pop: 35,300)I: Not feltKabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe, Sulawesi UtaraIndonesia189 km (117 mi)S of epicenterModisi(pop: 560)I: Not feltSulawesi UtaraIndonesia274 km (170 mi)SW of epicenterGorontalo(pop: 198,500)I: Not feltGorontaloIndonesia299 km (186 mi)SE of epicenterTernate(pop: 204,900)I: Not feltNorth MalukuIndonesiaNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
