Hiroshima earthquake and Shindo history in 2019
広島県
This annual view includes only earthquakes from 2019 for which stations associated with Hiroshima recorded Shindo.
Data period: 1 January–31 December 2019In 2019, stations associated with Hiroshima reported local Shindo for 3 earthquakes. The highest local level recorded that year was Shindo 3.
Observation history · 2019
This history counts earthquakes observed at stations in the place, not earthquakes whose epicentre lies inside its boundary. Counts can change as stations are updated and older or corrected observations are added.

Source regions of earthquakes observed here, ordered by the number of reports.
Earthquake scenarios affecting this place
Official J-SHIS models ranked for their potential impact on this prefecture.
#1 means the model ranks highest in the J-SHIS result for this place under the same settings. It is not a ranking of which earthquake will happen next.
Magnitude on a card describes the size of the whole earthquake model, not the Shindo expected here. Local shaking also depends on distance, depth and ground conditions.
