The intensity was lower than yesterday
After the shocks of earthquake felt yesterday in the Campi Flegrei, telluric movements were also felt this morning, although with lower intensity. The first, at 8.49 am, had a magnitude of 0.2 on the Richter scale, the second, at 9.06 am, of 1.7.
New earthquake in the Campi Flegri: two tremors, of magnitude 0.2 and 1.7, gave a rude awakening to the inhabitants of the area
The latter was clearly felt by the population, especially a Pozzuoli, a town located right in the epicenter of the Campi Flegrei caldera. There is no further information on any damage to property or people, although it was probably just a bad scare.
The previous episode dates back only to yesterday, when a shock of intensity 2.7 was felt at 10.32pm. Then several residents took to social media by storm, providing their worried testimony. Since it is an area with a strong earthquake risk, the attention of analysts is high. This applies in general to the Italian territory, which is morphologically exposed to natural disasters of this kind, sometimes even with serious consequences. Fortunately, the phenomenon proved to be contained, but paying maximum attention to the smallest signals can make the difference.
As usual, the advice of the experts is: keep calm. Keeping your nerve in such circumstances is crucial: while it is easy to panic, this would make the situation even worse. If the seismic phenomenon is strong enough, the ideal would be to go out into the street, but, where this is impossible, leave the house (or, in any case, a closed place) to find a sheltered spot.
Also yesterday, around 7.30 pm, an earthquake also hit the Salerno area, in this case with an intensity of magnitude 3.2. Fortunately, no alarming updates have arrived here either, although the inhabitants admitted to having experienced real moments of panic.
