What the record holds

The deadliest was not the strongest: a magnitude 7 on September 2, 2009 (66 km SSW of Banjar, Indonesia), for which NOAA records 81 deaths. NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes has 10 here, back to 1698. NOAA records deaths in 5 of the events here, 95 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 4.5 on January 1, 2024 (25 km NE of Lembang, Indonesia). NOAA’s record here begins in 1698 with an eruption (Ciremai). It grows thinner going back: 6 of the 10 significant earthquakes NOAA lists here are from 1927 on. NOAA lists one tsunami that began within 100 km of Indramayu. It reached 0.3 m, on September 9, 1823. NOAA lists 4 significant eruptions of 2 volcanoes within 100 km of Indramayu. The largest was Ciremai in 1698, at 3 on the volcanic explosivity index.

Good to know

  • An event counts for Indramayu when it began within 100 km of its centre, or 200 km for an earthquake of magnitude 7 or more. Damage can reach further.
  • USGS counts here start at magnitude 6: the catalogue’s smaller quakes thin out going back, where few instruments listened.
  • NOAA lists significant events only: earthquakes that killed, did about $1 million of damage, reached magnitude 7.5 or intensity X, or raised a tsunami, and eruptions and tsunamis by like measures. Magnitudes before 1900 are its estimates from written accounts.
  • Deaths are NOAA’s total for each event, wherever people died, its tsunami and fires included. A tsunami counts the dead its runup records give for this place: NOAA’s total for a tsunami includes its source quake’s.
  • A tsunami from elsewhere counts where one of its runups killed or rose a metre or more.
  • Counted to October 19, 2026, as is the map. The last 30 days ask USGS again.
