| Summary |
"On December 7, 1988, at 11:37 a.m., a strong trembler of magnitude 6.9 on the Richter scale and maximum intensity of X (classified as "Devastating" on the Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik scale) shook northwestern Armenia. The epicenter was the town of Nalband near the city of Spitak, after which the earthquake was named. Four minutes later, an aftershock of magnitude 5.8 caused further destruction, killing many of those trapped or those who were trying to rescue survivors who were trapped. Swarms of aftershocks, some as large as magnitude 5.0, continued for months in the area around Spitak"-- Provided by publisher |
