Earthquake in Naples that shook Italy!
Today at 12:47 PM, an earthquake measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale struck the Naples area, with its epicenter in the volcanic caldera of Campi Flegrei. Yes, you read that right – 4.6 Richter! This is one of the strongest earthquakes to hit this area in the last 40 years.
Campi Flegrei, also known as the Phlegraean Fields, is no ordinary place – it’s a volcanic caldera that has been showing signs of life for quite some time. Bradyseism, a natural phenomenon of gradual ground uplift, has been causing a series of smaller earthquakes for the past year. But this quake was no small fry – it was strong enough to remind everyone that the volcano is not forgotten.
The epicenter was at a shallow depth of just 5 kilometers, near the town of Bacoli, meaning the quake was quite shallow and therefore more noticeable to the population. Italian seismologists reacted immediately, and authorities are monitoring the situation closely. So far, there are no reports of casualties or major material damage, but fear and panic have spread among locals.
For those who don’t know, the last time such a strong quake hit this area was on March 13 this year, also measuring 4.6 Richter. Is this a sign that something big is brewing? Campi Flegrei is known for its volcanic activity and has long been under expert surveillance.
This earthquake shook not only the ground but also people’s nerves. Will the volcano erupt? Will Naples and surrounding areas be ready for what might come? Authorities say they are watching the situation, but nature doesn’t ask for permission.
If you thought earthquakes in Italy were a thing of the past, think again. Campi Flegrei is here, and it’s breathing – loudly.
