匈牙利地震造成房屋损坏
BUDAPEST, April 23 (Xinhua) -- An earthquake measuring 4.8 magnitude on the Richter scale occurring shortly after midnight on Tuesday damaged several hundred homes, mainly in Heves County, northeast of Budapest, but caused no injuries.
Gyorgy Bakondi, chief of the National Disaster Management Authority (OFK), told a news conference that utilities, hazardous1 facilities and dikes in flood-prone areas were all being checked and apparently2 none had suffered any damage.
While a significant number of homes were damaged, Bakondi said, none had collapsed3 and none required the evacuation of residents.
The tremor4 occurred near Heves city in Heves County at a depth of 8 km below the earth surface.
Hungary is not in an earthquake-prone location but does have between 100 and 120 tremors5, measuring less than 2.5 on the Richter scale, each year. The most serious earthquake recorded in the region occurred in 1763 when a 6.2-magnitude quake caused serious damage and a significant loss of life.
The last earthquake measuring more than 4.0 on the Richter scale was a 4.7 quake in 2011 that cause little damage.
