Jolt and rumble: Minor earthquake near Unzmarkt
The earth shook early on Monday morning in the Murtal valley in Upper Styria. The epicenter was a few kilometers southeast of Unzmarkt-Frauenburg, the tremors were clearly felt in the local area.
Geosphere Austria has so far received two reports from the population. Expert Rita Meurers expects further reports during the course of the day. Anyone who felt the quake is asked to fill in the perception form on the website.
Nine kilometers deep
The earth tremors occurred at 7.52 a.m. at a depth of around nine kilometers. As the earth did not shake closer to the surface, Geosphere does not expect any damage to buildings or infrastructure.
However, people who contacted us immediately reported a jolt and a rumble. The magnitude is given as 2.3.
Short rumble at the crack of dawn
The employees at the municipal office were not aware of the earth tremors, according to the "Krone" on Monday morning. Office manager Ulrike Trattner remembers earthquakes in the recent past, where glasses, for example, have rattled.
Her husband did feel a rumble in the morning, she says. He didn't think much of it, he suspected a tractor was the cause of the disturbance.
