  • Earthquake. What is happening in Granada so that there have been more than 280 earthquakes since December?

The seismic series recorded by Granada and its metropolitan area since last December and which has kept it on alert especially since the last five days, in which up to four earthquakes of more than 4 degrees of magnitude

have

occurred,

has added two new ones this afternoon. 3.6 and 4.3 degree tremors

.

The first earthquake, with an epicenter in Santa Fe (Granada), like almost all those in this seismic swarm, was registered at 7:06 p.m. and was shallow -one kilometer deep-, which has contributed to its being felt by the population, according to the National Geographic Institute and the 112 emergency center.

Half hours after it occurred,

the emergency service had received half a dozen notices

from different parts of Chauchina, Maracena and Atarfe, all municipalities in the metropolitan area, although there is no record of personal injury.

Virulence

The second, 4.3 degrees, the epicenter also in Santa Fe and five kilometers deep,

was registered at 7:49 p.m. and has been felt with greater virulence.

Those registered in the last days of greater magnitude - the maximum has been 4.5 degrees -

have caused some material but non-structural damage

, mainly related to cracks and the fall of rubble and tiles.

There are already more than eighty tremors

that, since this past Saturday, have kept a population of more than half a million inhabitants with fear and uncertainty due to this seismic series that could last weeks or even months, according to experts, who nevertheless consider earthquakes of greater magnitude than those recorded so far are unlikely due to the characteristics of the Granada fault.
