So far, we have received 4 reports for this unconfirmed quake from India. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 100–150 km (62–93 mi) distance, with isolated cases to have felt the quake even 248 km (154 mi) away.Most reports came from Shillong (1 report), a city with more than 130,000 inhabitants in Meghalaya in 2.8 km (1.8 mi) distance west of the epicenter, India. Further below is a list of places where most people reported this quake.This section is being updated as new data comes in.User reports estimate the perceived ground shaking intensity according to the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale.Contribute:Leave a comment if you find a particular report interesting or want to add to it.Flag as inappropriate.Mark as helpful or interesting.Send your own user report!Translate147.8 km NE of epicenter [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) : At home when felt the earth quake as my table shaked 248.3 km NE of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our app)Guwahati assam (59.7 km N of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / 5-10 s : Chairs shaking shillong (0 km NNW of epicenter) [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / rattling, vibrating / 2-5 s : light rattling (reported through our app) List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsShillong, Meghalaya, India(Pop.: 132,842)2.8 km (1.8 mi)W of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (4 in total) could be used for statistics.What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. 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 (*)II: Very weak shaking260–148 km (37–92 mi)104 km (64 mi)III: Weak shaking10–0 km (0–0 mi)0 km (0 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (4 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I 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! Other users would love to hear about it!If you did NOT feel the quake although you were in the area, please report it as well! Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare 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 14 quakes above magnitude 5 since 1970, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 1 to 5 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
