the seismic swarm continues, in the late morning tremors of up to 3.8 in magnitude
EDIT: new shock at 11.29, with epicenter at CesenaticoOf magnitude 3.8, recorded at a depth of 17.8 kilometers. Followed by two other events of magnitude 2.1 (at 11.36 and 11.43) with movement towards Cervia.
at 9.20 new shock of magnitude 2.6 with its epicenter in Cesenatico, 22 kilometers deep. It’s just the latest in a string of earthquakes in the last few hours. At dawn the earth – in fact – returned to shake in Romagna. An earthquake swarm with the most intense tremor of size 4.1 recorded 4 km north of Gambettola alle 6.32 minutesat a depth of 18 kilometers. Followed shortly after by new earthquakes of magnitude 2.2, in the same area. Alarm also in the Rimini area, where the earthquake was felt distinctly, causing many people to leap out of bed, as well as in San Marino. To check the consequences was railway traffic suspended in Romagna, bro Bologna and Rimini and between Rimini and Ravenna. The closure, which is triggered automatically as a precaution in the event of earthquakes, is causing inconvenience and delays.
Schools closed in Gambettola, “we are doing all the checks on the buildings” wrote the mayor of the Romagna town via social media, Letizia Bisacchi. While checks on school buildings have been activated in Rimini, Riccione, Cesenatico and Ravenna, by the first citizens who, having received no news of damage, confirmed the opening of the school buildings.
The earth has been shaking for days and the phenomenon also affects the Marche region. During the night, telluric movements were also reported off the coast coast of Pesaro. I Fire fighters write that you have not received requests for intervention.
The epicenter of this morning’s earthquake is in the same area as the 4.1 magnitude event two days ago, January 26. “From the instrumental seismicity map from 2021 to today, reports INGV, we note that in this part of the province of Forlì-Cesena in the last month have been recorded over 40 earthquakes, 23 of these since January 26 with magnitude between 1.4 and 4.1. After the 6.30 am event, four other tremors ranging in magnitude between 1.6 and 2.2″ were located.
Last January 26 at 11.45 with epicenter Cesenatico the strongest shock had been recorded, also that case of size 4.1 at the culmination of a series of small telluric movements that had been going on for days. As a precaution, the students had been taken out of the schools and checks had been started immediately. At the end of the afternoon, after a meeting with the regional civil protection, it was then decided to reopen the school facilities the following day. Over the course of the day, there had been about ten tremors between Cesenatico and Gambettola and the earthquake had also been felt in the nearby provinces of Rimini and Ravenna, but also in Veneto and the Marches, up to Ancona.
