ARCHIVED - Fortuna registers third earthquake in Murcia since Sunday
Third earthquake in 48 hours in the Region of Murcia
Following an earthquake in El Palmar, just south of Murcia city, on Sunday morning, and another minor tremor in Lorca, the Region was shook by another seismic tremor in the early hours of Tuesday morning (October 12), this time in the municipality of Fortuna, near Sierra de la Pil.
The latest earthquake was even more intense, registering at 3.4 on the Richter scale, while Sunday’s tremors reached 2.4 (El Palmar) and 1.7 (Lorca).
According to 112 emergency services in the Region of Murcia, no material or personal damages were reported in the earthquake, which took place at 4.50am at a depth of 2km, although the tremor was certainly intense enough to be felt by local residents.
