In the mountainous regions of the Krasnodar Territory, scientists constantly record tremors of insignificant power. Usually they remain unnoticed by the residents of the Kuban, but in the fall of 2016 in Sochi, an earthquake of magnitude 4.7 was recorded by local seismologists. In fact, tremors were noticed by scientists twice - in September and October.
September 22: Abkhazia
The epicenter of tremors on September 22, 2016 was in the Republic of Abkhazia, a district of the city of Sukhumi. In Sochi, an earthquake was felt with a magnitude of 4.6 points. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, there was no significant damage, as well as data on the victims or victims. But still, many locals felt fear at the tremors of this level, and the rescue service hotline received several phone calls about this.
October 30: Kuban
A month later, in the Absheron district of the Kuban, between the resort city of Tuapse and Neftegorsk, tremors occurred of even greater power - 4.7 points. In Sochi, the earthquake was felt insignificantly, data on the injured and the destruction were also missing.
But most residents of the resort city of the Krasnodar Territory are frightened by the appearance of frequent tremors. Scientists, in turn, are in a hurry to assure the Sochi residents that the vibrations are not dangerous and there is no need to panic with repeated appearances.
