What the simulator shows
The simulator turns magnitude and depth into shaking intensity on the Modified Mercalli scale. By that estimate about 4,756 people in towns listed in GeoNames were within 31 km of the epicentre, where intensity reaches VI and loose objects fall from shelves.
| Town | Distance | Population | Intensity (model) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Llano de Piedra | 18 km | 1,054 | VI |
| Tonosí | 21 km | 1,478 | VI |
| Macaracas | 25 km | 2,224 | VI |
| La Palma | 34 km | 1,283 | V |
| La Tiza | 44 km | 1,150 | V |
| Agua Buena | 43 km | 1,012 | V |
