It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt6194–649 km (121–404 mi)360 km (224 mi)II: Very weak shaking3179–191 km (111–119 mi)186 km (115 mi)III: Weak shaking2736–213 km (22–132 mi)171 km (106 mi)IV: Light shaking2225–242 km (15.5–151 mi)129 km (80 mi)V: Moderate shaking133–33 km (21–21 mi)33 km (21 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (65 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!
