Moderate earthquake in Hungary

Last update: June 5, 2013 at 7:20 pm by By Ashish Khanal

Update 19:19 UTC : The epicenter of this quake is only 24 km northeast of Danube, this river which some days ago caused the heaviest flood in the German town of Passau for about 500 years. This flood is going to hit Hungary and Slovakia in the coming days. Currently some regions are flooded yet. People in social networks fear that the the dikes, which protect towns like Budapest from Danube flood, could have been damaged by the quake.

Update 19:00 UTC : Earthquake-Report.com does not expect serious damage from this earthquake. The depth will be an important parameter. Hypocenter depth is normally deep in Hungary but in some cases it may be shallow and more dangerous too.

Update 18:58 UTC : EMSC reports a preliminary Magnitude of 4.3 at a depth of 10 km (10 km can also mean we are not sure yet)

Update 18:57 UTC : The earthquake was also felt in Slovakia.
