Earthquake: remembering that shook Lugo in 1997, with 5.2 degrees on the Richter scale

Every time the earth shakes, and especially if it is as in Japan, we still live Lugo that we shudder remembering the early hours of May 22, 1997, when an earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale, the largest magnitude of all who were in Galicia and the head of produced in Spain, shaking not only the city and province, but the neighboring communities of Asturias, Castilla y León and the Madrid and Northern Portugal. But it also felt, for example in Spain. Was tremendous because almost the entire population took to the streets in the early hours of the morning, and why in Lugo we are rather accustomed to earthquakes because it is an area of \u200b\u200bhigh seismic activity, with an epicenter located in the area comprising the city \u200b\u200band a circle (I point on the map) that includes, especially the municipalities of Sarria, Triacastela (where is located the main focus), Pedrafita, As Nogais, Becerreá, Baralla, Baleira and Castroverde. Year many movements are detected, although in recent years many meos in the nineties. But May 1997 was undoubtedly of marking time, and I remember it mainly because these days spread information on which was a magnitude of 4.8, which is also important but which was repeated several times.
On that morning, as well as damaging consideration in many buildings, several people were hospitalized for anxiety and helplessness that this occurs and one of them, in Sarria, died of a heart attack while preparing to flee their home.

From that date until July of that year, seismographs checked more than two thousand replicas, thus demonstrating its intensity.
course all this is nothing if compared to that suffered Spain and Portugal in 1755, and reminds us today that a supplement of the newspaper El Mundo. The earthquake, with epicenter in the sea south of Cadiz triggered a tsunami that destroyed Lisbon with the loss of fifteen thousand people, mostly old town, and also killed several thousands in Andalucia. In Cadiz, for example. waves reaching fifty feet, jumping the walls, in and out three times in the city. There was no means of measuring time, but is estimated to reach between 7.3 and 8.5 degrees and was by far the most powerful of the seismic history of English. Was also felt throughout the western peninsula, including Galicia.
Spain is not free either of the occurrence of major tsunamis. In fact there is evidence of the impact of 24 tsunamis in the past 2,200 years.
