This 2020 is getting scary day to day. A global pandemic followed Cyclones, thunderstorms, gas leaks and now a series of earthquakes are shaking the whole country.
This is all about an earthquake of 4.7 magnitude that hit near Ongole of Prakasam district at 10:15 in the morning on Friday. At 6.55 am, the earthquake also occurred at Jamshedpur and Jharkhand.
4 months ago, in Jaggayya Peta, Vijayawada along with some parts of Hyderabad an earthquake with 4.4 occurred, and the one that recorded now is slightly higher than the previous.
No victims or casualties have been reported yet but the earthquake jolted parts of Karnataka and Jharkhand at the same time in a mysterious way. The people ran out of houses after feeling the tremors.
So, the officials said that any earthquake below the magnitude of 5.0 on the Richter scale is unlikely to cause any large scale damage unless in case of weak or damaged structures.
