It shook again: the earth has recently shaken four times in Tyrol. That’s how people experienced it.
Within a few days, several earthquakes occurred in Tyrol. On Friday for the fourth time. With a magnitude of 3.5, it was the strongest yet. It was clearly felt in the area of the epicenter, south of Waidring (Kitzbühel district), according to the Austrian Seismological Service Geosphere Austria. People on site reported that the underground was thundering and rumbling. Slight damage, such as cracks in the plaster, could occur with such thickness.

It is already the second earthquake in two nights in a row, reports oe24.at. On X, formerly Twitter, Earthquake News explains that earthquake series and earthquake swarms “can occur anywhere and at any size.” But they can stop just as suddenly. There are tectonic causes and no signs of volcanism or human influence. Clearing heavy objects from the top shelf is also recommended, as is avoiding walks on steep rock faces. However, the length of the series of earthquakes cannot be predicted.
The earthquakes frightened many people, reports Geosphere Austria: “Totally scary, the whole room shook,” writes a user who passes on information via the portal. Another person writes: “I also perked up because the box was shaking. It was clearly noticeable.” No major damage is expected. This is only the case from strength 5 onwards, reports the “Frankfurter Rundschau”.
