Ground cracks and building damage from this morning's earthquake in India as submitted by a user
This morning, India's northeastern state of Assam was shaken by a strong magnitude 6 earthquake at 7:21 am local time. Fortunately, the quake caused only comparably little damage to buildings, but (at least so far) there have been no fatalities and only few injuries reported.
Potentially devastating at this size, its impact was likely reduced by its depth of 37 km in the crust and by the fact that no major cities are located very close to the epicenter. Strong or even very strong shaking (intensity up to VII on the Mercalli scale) occurred within a radius of approx. 50-70 km around the epicenter. Close to it, many ground cracks opened in fields and open spaces. A submitted photographs shows new fissures up to a meter wide and tens of centimeters deep, exposing liquified soil.
Part of the large freestanding rocky hill known as Bhairabkunda in the Udalguri district collapsed:

In Tezpur, with a population of approx. 60,000 the largest significant city in the area, and other smaller towns, numerous buildings suffered light to moderate damage: parts of wall plaster, bricks, roof tiles fell down, windows broke, few small and weakly built walls collapsed, pipes were damaged, objects fell off from their position and similar effects, but overall, the damage is comparably limited considering the size of the quake, whose magnitude is estimated at values ranging between 6.0 (e.g. USGS) at the lower end and a maximum of 6.4 given by India's National Center for Seismology.

According to eyewitness reports we received within minutes after the quake struck, the duration near the epicenter was relatively long, up to approx. 1 minute. Many people reacted with panic, as one user wrote: "I felt like end has came near I was very panic and felt that ground will crack and the houses will go under the ground." Older people often were reminded of the catastrophic 1950 Assam earthquake on 15 August, which had a magnitude of 8.6 and killed an estimated 4,800 people, devastating the region: "...For a second I think about the 1950's earthquake in Assam and the same thing is repeating so I fell very panic", the user wrote.

In fact, the earthquake was felt in almost all of Assam state, but also in parts of neighboring Bhutan, only 50 km away to the northwest, Tibet 150 km to the north, and Bangladesh 250 km to the south of the epicenter. Some people reported weak shaking in up to 400 km distance.

Support us - Help us upgrade our services!

We truly love working to bring you the latest volcano and earthquake data from around the world. Maintaining our website and our free apps does require, however, considerable time and resources.
We need financing to increase hard- and software capacity as well as support our editor team. We're aiming to achieve uninterrupted service wherever an earthquake or volcano eruption unfolds, and your donations can make it happen! Every donation will be highly appreciated. If you find the information useful and would like to support our team in integrating further features, write great content, and in upgrading our soft- and hardware, please make a donation (PayPal or Online credit card payment).

Planned features:
  • Improved multilanguage support
  • Tsunami alerts
  • Faster responsiveness
Thanks to your past donations, these features have been added recently:
  • Design upgrade
  • Detailed quake stats
  • Additional seismic data sources
Download and Upgrade the Volcanoes & Earthquakes app to get one of the fastest seismic and volcano alerts online:
