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(*)RegionCountry86 km (53 mi)S of epicenterMasohi(pop: 36,400)II: Very weakKabupaten Maluku Tengah, MalukuIndonesia90 km (56 mi)S of epicenterAmahai(pop: 47,700)II: Very weakKabupaten Maluku Tengah, MalukuIndonesia153 km (95 mi)SW of epicenterAmbon(pop: 347,300)II: Very weakMalukuIndonesia198 km (123 mi)NW of epicenterKawasi(pop: 29,600)I: Not feltKabupaten Halmahera Selatan, North MalukuIndonesia219 km (136 mi)W of epicenterNamlea(pop: 37,900)I: Not feltKabupaten Buru, MalukuIndonesia266 km (165 mi)NW of epicenterLabuha(pop: 7,070)I: Not feltKabupaten Halmahera Selatan, North MalukuIndonesia284 km (177 mi)SW of epicenterNamrole(pop: 21,500)I: Not feltKabupaten Buru Selatan, MalukuIndonesia310 km (193 mi)NE of epicenterWaisai(pop: 22,500)I: Not feltKabupaten Raja Ampat, Southwest PapuaIndonesia318 km (198 mi)NE of epicenterSorong(pop: 254,300)I: Not feltSouthwest PapuaIndonesiaNotes:(*) 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 4 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
