March 9, 2023, 20:08:00: Earthquake in 6 km E Umbertide (PG)

Earthquakes with magnitude 4.6 felt at 20:08:00 on March 9, 2023.
Place: 6 km E Umbertide (PG).

Earthquake in Umbria. Earthquake in the province of Perugia.

On Thursday 9 March 2023 at 20:08:00 an earthquake of magnitude 4.6 and depth 8.3 km was recorded in 6 km E Umbertide (PG). Further info on the INGV webpage by clicking here.

Based on the depth of the hypocenter, earthquakes are classified into superficial (hypocenter between 0 e 70 and deep), intermediate (Hypocenter between 70 and 300 km deep) and deep (hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake occurred at 20:08:00 on March 9, 2023, with epicenter 6 km E Umbertide (PG), having a depth of 8.3 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 4.6, therefore between 4 and 5, this earthquake is classified as "light". This type of earthquake generates noticeable oscillations for interior items, but structural damage to buildings is rare.
