Earthquake in Montenegro: Small Magnitude, Big Panic!
Did you feel it? At 12:02 PM today, Montenegro shook! But don’t worry, it wasn’t nearly as scary as some thought. An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 on the Richter scale struck 7 kilometers northwest of Morinj, with its epicenter at a depth of 8 kilometers.
Seismologists from the Hydrometeorological Institute quickly announced that this quake could not have caused any material damage. So, no need to panic, but it was definitely felt in the surrounding area.
But wait, there’s more! Another quake, magnitude 3.5, was recorded near Herceg Novi, at a depth of about 12.7 kilometers. Citizens described it as short but strong – with a rumble lasting only a few seconds. There are no reports of injuries or damage, but many people in various towns felt it.
Clearly, the earth isn’t settling down! Although these quakes are of low intensity, they remind us that we live in a seismically active area. Seismologists are monitoring the situation, and authorities are on alert.
So why is everyone so worked up? Maybe because every quake, no matter how small, reminds us how powerful and unpredictable nature is. Or maybe because panic spreads faster than the quake itself!
Either way, if you felt a slight tremor today, you’re not alone. Just don’t let it ruin your day – unless you’re planning to move into a bunker.
Now, while we wait for the next quake, drop a comment and tell us – did you feel this little shake? Or did you just think your house was creaking?
