| Abstract: | Data concerning this earthquake and the seismicity of the surrounding area have been examined. Large historical earthquakes before 1884 show that destructive shocks in the area have a recurrence period of about two hundred years. Recent seismic activity has been high from 1910 to 1955 and lower thereafter. Total number of casualties for the 1884 earthquake is estimated at 745 dead and 1475 wounded. Damage to buildings extended to 4399 houses totally destroyed and 6316 partially damaged. A new intensity map has been drawn from the original reports fron which the approximate location of the epicenter, depth of focus, attenuation of energy and source dimensions have been determined. The aftershock sequence of felt events lasted for nearly a year with an increase of activity at the second month. |
