Last night there was a strong earthquake in Italy. The offshoots were felt in Austria, but also in other countries.
Socchieve – Many residents in Italy and Austria experienced an earthquake shock. In the evening (March 27th) there was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake in the province of Udine. According to the Ingv data, the epicenter was in Socchieve, a small municipality in Carnia located about four kilometers north of Tramonti di Sopra (Pordenone).

But almost an hour after the earthquake, no significant damage to property or people was recorded. As things stand, this is what the Italian news agency
Ansa
and the daily newspapers
La Repubblica
and
La Stampa
are reporting in agreement. The strong shock apparently still left its mark.

After the earthquake in Italy, the mayor of Socchieve, Coriglio Zannier, spoke out. “We heard a terrible bang and were very scared,” he told Rainews24 before talking about the damage. “There was no power for a few minutes.” There were also “a few falling bricks,” but now “we are returning to normal.”
Earthquakes in Austria and Italy: tremors also felt in other countries
Nevertheless, in addition to Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia were apparently not spared from the foothills of the earthquake in the province of Udine. At 10:20 p.m., the earthquake was apparently also clearly felt in the neighboring country when the earth shook in the border region between Italy and Switzerland, as

announced. According to initial information, the earthquake there had a magnitude of 4.0 on the Richter scale. However, this is still an “untested automatic evaluation,” as the experts stated on their website.

There has been an increasing number of clearly noticeable earthquakes in Italy and Austria in the recent past
There have been several earthquakes in Italy and Austria in the recent past. Among other things, an “earthquake shock” occurred in Tuscany. The Adriatic region was also recently hit by an earthquake that was felt not only in Italy but also in Croatia. In addition, the supervolcano in Italy continues to cause concern with its swarm earthquakes.
However, Italy is not the only country that repeatedly registers strong tremors. Incidents are also increasing in Austria. A “clearly” noticeable earthquake hit an entire community. But the foothills can also be felt across national borders. Finally, an earthquake in Austria was registered in four countries.
