The earth continues to shake in southern Italy
Another shock of earthquake today in Italy: Tuesday 16 April 2024 the population of an area where the earthquake swarm has been going on for too long was woken up at dawn because the earth shook again. The 2.5 degree tremor was felt not only by the seismographs, but also by people who woke up worried again
Continue it seismic swarm at Campi Flegrei. The sensors of the Vesuvian Observatory recorded a strong shock of preliminary magnitude 2.5 at 5.38 am. The recorded depth is 2.6 kilometres, with the epicenter in the Agnano Pisciarelli area.
Other tremors preceded this earthquake, although of smaller entity. The strongest of the preliminary shocks was 2.3 at 4.11 am on the night of Tuesday 16 April 2024.
L'Vesuvian Observatory of the Ingvthe National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, continues to underline that the seismic swarm in this highly dangerous area with regards to earthquake risk seems unstoppable.
Even in recent days other tremors have been defined as important by the Vesuvian Observatory, again with regard to the Campi Flegrei area. More than 74 earthquakes were felt by seismographs on Sunday, the strongest having a magnitude of 3.7 at 9.44 am.
New earthquake shock today in Italy: the population felt it without distinction
Mauro Antonio Di Vito, director of the INGV Vesuvian Observatory, explained to FanPage that the location of these events is Solfatara-Pisciarelli. The current situation doesn't change much, as the earth continues to shift and deform beneath an area considered high risk.
Earthquakes cannot be predicted in any way, but experts can expect more tremors. INGV is analyzing all the data and the expected situation remains unchanged. There are no signs of a possible eruptive crisis. The fear is, in fact, that all these tremors could wake up the caldera and the volcano, causing unimaginable damage.
