Expected intensity

west of Macquarie IslandNatural Earth
  • MMI II ≤ 484 km
  • MMI III ≤ 235 km
  • MMI IV ≤ 108 km
  • MMI V ≤ 50 km
  • MMI VI ≤ 22 km
  • MMI VII ≤ 5.0 km

Rings show the expected Modified Mercalli (MMI) intensity from the Akkar–Sandıkkaya–Bommer (2014) ground-motion model converted with Worden et al. (2012). Real shaking depends on soil and building.

Aftershocks

Earthquakes within 40 km of the epicentre in the first 30 days.

No aftershocks recorded yet.

Aftershock forecast

The chance of an aftershock of magnitude 4 or more in the next 7 days is 31%, and of magnitude 5 or more 5%.
The chance of an aftershock of magnitude 3 or more in the next 24 hours is 57%.

≈ expected number of aftershocks

0 aftershocks recorded so far within 10 km (0 of M4.5 or more).

Computed: . Method: Reasenberg-Jones (generic, Bayesian a-value update); regime ANSR-SHALCON; generic parameters Page et al. (2016) via USGS OpenSHA GenericRJ_ParametersFetch.json. Probabilities are updated with the recorded aftershocks on every request. (b = 1, p = 0.98, c = 0.018 days, a = -2.815)

This is a statistical forecast, not an earthquake prediction. Actual aftershock activity can differ; follow local authorities for official statements.
