The earth shook on Tuesday evening, reminding us of the region’s vulnerability to the tectonic vagaries of the Ligurian Fault.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

At around 6.45 pm on Tuesday 18 March, a seismic event measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale shook the whole of the French Riviera. The epicentre was located between the communes of Coaraze and Contes, around 15 kilometres north of Nice. The tremor, which only lasted a few seconds, was clearly felt not only in Nice but throughout the Alpes-Maritimes department, the east of the Var, in Monaco and as far away as Imperia in Italy.<\/p>\n\n

A strong aftershock, magnitude 3.7, occurred later in the evening, at around 10.25 pm, triggering a new wave of concern among residents.<\/p>\n\n

No significant damage<\/h2>\n\n

Despite the strength of the tremor, no injuries or significant material damage were reported. Emergency services remained operational throughout the evening to respond to the many incoming calls.<\/p>\n\n

“An aftershock of a lower\u00a0 magnitude, in the hours and days following the first event, is common according to seismic experts,” <\/i>\u00a0say the authorities, who urge the public not to put unnecessary strain on the emergency lines.<\/p>\n\n
