Were there any earthquakes in Wuhan’s history?

The crustal plate in which Wuhan is located is relatively stable, and the probability of an earthquake occurring is very small. Even if it does occur, it will be a small-scale earthquake. The level is generally not higher than level 6. The destructive intensity is not large and the destructive intensity is not high. Very big. The following are the historical earthquake records in Wuhan:

In January 1470, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred in Wuchang and Hanyang;

From March to April 1605, an earthquake occurred in Wuchang (Jiangxia) and other places 4 and 3/4 earthquake;

In June 1605, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred in Wuchang, Hanyang and other places;

In January 1897, a magnitude 5 earthquake occurred in Wuchang and Hankou ;

In March 1930, a magnitude 4 earthquake occurred in Wuhan;

In 1932, affected by a magnitude 6 earthquake in Huangtugang, Macheng, people were injured and houses collapsed in Wuhan.

After liberation, no major destructive earthquake was recorded in Wuhan. The nearest earthquake to Wuhan was on November 26, 2005, at 08:49:37 (Beijing time), in Jiujiang, Jiangxi (29.7 North Latitude, 115.8 East Longitude) A magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred.

The three more serious earthquakes in Hubei are:

In March 788 AD, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred in Zhushan.

In 1856, an earthquake of magnitude 6 or above occurred in the Xianfeng Dalu Dam. The landslide spread more than ten miles away and formed a dam, forming Xiaonanhai, the largest earthquake barrier lake preserved in my country.

In 1932, a magnitude 6 earthquake occurred in Macheng Huangtugang, causing many deaths of humans and animals.

Since Hubei as a whole is in a non-seismic zone or on the edge of an earthquake zone, the chance of being hit by a strong earthquake is very small. There will be no serious earthquake casualties
