Is there an earthquake in Lingbi County, Suzhou City, Anhui Province?

Longhu.com reported that at 22: 22 on April 6, 2009, an earthquake occurred in Feidong County, Hefei City. An earthquake of magnitude 5, the epicenter of which is located in Liangyuan town. Due to the shallow focal depth, about 8 kilometers, the epicenter was strongly felt, and it was generally felt in Hefei, and also in Chaohu, Chuzhou, Wuhu, Bengbu, Huainan and Lu' an. According to the investigation of the field team of the Earthquake Administration of Anhui Province, no casualties and other disasters were found in this earthquake. So far, there is no abnormal earthquake activity in the epicenter and surrounding areas, and the so-called internal prediction opinions of the earthquake department are all rumors. In the last two days, there have been some earthquake rumors in the epicenter and surrounding areas. Once verified, the relevant departments will severely punish a very small number of lawless elements who deliberately create and spread earthquake rumors. What is the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone? How big is the influence of Anhui section? Experts from the Earthquake Administration of Anhui Province gave a detailed introduction. According to experts from the Earthquake Administration of Anhui Province, the frequency of destructive earthquakes is low. The Tanlu fault zone starts from Sixian County, Suzhou in the north and ends in Susong, Anqing in the south. Since its own records, there have been five earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in the Anhui section of the Tan-Lu fault zone and its vicinity, and the largest one was the Wuhe earthquake of magnitude 5.5 in 1829. Comparatively speaking, the level of seismic activity in Anhui section is weak and the frequency of destructive earthquakes is low. The Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone is a deep fault zone in the east of China, starting from Wuxue area in Hubei Province in the south, passing through Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong in the north, crossing the Bohai Sea and passing through the three northeastern provinces, and entering Russian territory. It is more than 2,400 kilometers long in China and is divided into three sections. The northern section is mainly in the northeast, the middle section is mainly in Shandong, and Anhui is located in the southern section. According to statistics, since 1400, there have been earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above 17 on both sides of the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone, the largest of which is 1, located between Tancheng and Juxian, Shandong Province, with magnitude 8 of/kloc-. The recurrence period of large earthquakes like the latter is generally very long, even as long as thousands of years. A bigger earthquake is unlikely to happen in the near future. According to the earthquake observation, historical earthquakes and seismogeological analysis, experts from the Seismological Bureau of the province believe that it is unlikely that a larger earthquake will occur in the epicenter and surrounding areas in the near future. In fact, so far, there is no abnormal seismic activity in the epicenter and surrounding areas, which is completely consistent with the prediction. Earthquake rumors may be greater than earthquake losses. Earthquake rumors refer to rumors that there is no scientific basis for an earthquake to happen. Earthquake rumors are very harmful. A large-scale earthquake rumor may cause no less economic losses than a devastating earthquake. According to experts from the Seismological Bureau of Guangdong Province, it is not uncommon for earthquake rumors to appear after the earthquake. For example, in1March, 1998, heavy snow suddenly fell in Jianghuai area, the weather was abnormal, and other inducing factors led to earthquake rumors in Hefei, Chuzhou and Chaohu. Many people blindly listen to earthquake rumors, and some residents even moved to earthquake shelters. Due to the cold weather, someone built a coal stove in the earthquake-proof shed to keep warm, resulting in the death of 9 people from gas poisoning in Lai 'an County and Dingyuan County of Chuzhou City. After the 3.5-magnitude earthquake in Hefei, rumors of so-called internal prediction opinions issued by the earthquake department also appeared in the epicenter and surrounding areas, which led some people who did not know the truth to leave home and had to take preventive measures, which greatly affected the normal production and living order. In order to prevent earthquake rumors and maintain social stability, the Provincial Seismological Bureau appealed that in the face of earthquake rumors, everyone should consciously "don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors and report them in time" to maintain a stable and harmonious political situation and living environment. How to identify the "predicted" earthquake magnitude in earthquake rumors is very accurate. The rumors with very specific time and place of the earthquake are rumors, and any earthquake rumors with feudal superstitions and bizarre legends are rumors. The easiest way to identify rumors is to ask the local government or the earthquake management department, or inquire about information announcements on the website of the earthquake department, or listen to and watch media information announcements such as radio and television. On the one hand, it can immediately clarify the truth of the news, on the other hand, government departments can keep abreast of the situation and quickly quell rumors.
