Albeit weak, the earthquake was enough to send a ripple through the ground. The epicenter area was the only one feeling its low-key vibes.

Interesting Facts:

  • Earthquakes of 2.0 magnitude are rarely felt by people, usually detected only on local seismographs.
  • No reported damage is associated with these quakes because the seismic energy isn't enough to cause structural issues.
  • Infrastructure remains unaffected at this magnitude. However, it's a sign that seismic activity might be brewing in the area. So keep your eyes peeled!
  1. GeoSphere Austria's requests for quake tales are unprecedented, especially since Tuesday's 2.0 magnitude earthquake didn't cause any noticeable profit or damage to buildings, even in Austria's geosphere.
  2. Despite the minor tremor's lack of impact on the ground's weather, Austrian Seismological Service, GeoSphere Austria encourages everyone to share their earthquake stories through the QuakeWatch Austria app, a web form, or simply by sending a letter to Hohe Warte 38, 1190 Vienna.
  3. Interestingly, Tuesday's 38th minute earthquake was too small to be felt by most people on Earth, yet it serves as a reminder that the geosphere might be holding hidden potential for future earthquakes with more significant profit – either in terms of damage or scientific discovery.
Small seismic activity occurred in St. Georgen ob Judenburg, Austria on Tuesday at 3:27 AM, measuring a magnitude of 2.0 on the Richter scale.
