Earthquake Report,

16 December, 2012

Moderate earthquake along the Kyrgyzstan / China border

Based on the data from CENC who are reporting a lower Magnitude than western agencies, we think that this earthquake will not cause any serious damage. CENC reports a Magnitude of 4.7 at a depth of 8 km. Chinese data has to be respected as China puts a lot of effort in seismology and has a vast network of instruments.

In 1920, 200,000 people lost their lives during the great Gansu earthquake (Magn. 7.8 – MMI XII!)
