Strong earthquake shakes buildings in Dubrovnik – magnitude 5.7

A strong earthquake hit Dubrovnik this evening. According to the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center, the epicenter was in neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina at a depth of only 5 km and a magnitude of 5.7!

Buildings literally shook when the earthquake shook Dubrovnik, with reports of shelves falling off walls and paintings falling to the floor. Eyewitnesses in Mostar stated, “Very strong shaking that lasted about 15 seconds, started slowly with gurgling and slight shaking, and eventually started very strong shaking! Some areas in Mostar have cut off electricity and residents are standing on their feet!” From Dubrovnik, a local resident commented: “The biggest earthquake I’ve felt in 40 years!” A reader of the Dubrovnik Times commented that the earthquake was already felt in Brindisi, in southern Italy.

“We were sitting in the piano bar at the Croatia Hotel, and we felt the earthquakes. I had no idea what it was but my friend Karen grabbed my hand. She knew the way before I even knew what was happening it was an earthquake. She remembers back in 1976 in this area as It was yesterday. The earth moved on Earth Day. And this is a reminder that we must respect nature, because it is stronger than any of us, commented our columnist Gilly Sutherland.

The actual strong tremors only lasted for 5-7 seconds, but that was enough to shake the buildings. The epicenter was 45 km southeast of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina and 16 km east of the city of Stolac in Bosnia and Herzegovina, about 90 km from Dubrovnik. According to reports, the earthquake was felt in many parts of southern Croatia, as well as in Albania, Montenegro, Serbia and even Italy, as well as reports of people feeling the earthquake in southern Austria and Slovenia.

Damage has been reported from the strong earthquake in Mostar with some facade damage reported. The earthquake occurred at 11.08 pm.
