What the record holds

The deadliest was not the strongest: a magnitude 7.6 on August 17, 1999 (4 km ESE of Derince, Turkey), for which NOAA records 17,118 deaths. NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes has 47 here, back to AD 29. NOAA records deaths in 24 of the events here, 44,572 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 7.2 on November 12, 1999 (8 km S of Düzce, Turkey). NOAA’s record here begins in AD 29 with an earthquake (Iznik,Izmit). It grows thinner going back: 13 of the 47 significant earthquakes NOAA lists here are from 1927 on. NOAA lists 10 tsunamis that began within 100 km of İnegol. The highest water NOAA records here was 2.5 m, on August 17, 1999. The deadliest, on August 17, 1999, killed 5 people here by NOAA’s runup records.

Good to know

  • An event counts for İnegol 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.
