The strongest was a magnitude 7, three times, most recently on September 12, 664 (Kyongju). The deadliest was not the strongest: an estimated magnitude 6.3 on August 12, 1664 (Chonju,Chinan), for which NOAA records 50 deaths. NOAA records deaths in 4 of the events here, 64 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 4.4 on June 11, 2024 (Jeonbuk). NOAA’s record here begins in December 27 with an earthquake (Kwangju). It grows thinner going back: 2 of the 9 significant earthquakes NOAA lists here are from 1927 on. NOAA lists 4 tsunamis that began within 100 km of Jeongeup. The highest water NOAA records here was 1.65 m, on March 31, 2007. The deadliest, on August 27, 2006, killed one person here by NOAA’s runup records.

Good to know

  • An event counts for Jeongeup 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.
