What the record holds

The deadliest was not the strongest: a magnitude 6 on April 10, 2021 (45 km S of Sumberpucung, Indonesia), for which NOAA records 10 deaths. 2 earthquakes here in these years are on NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes. NOAA records deaths in 8 of the events here, 289 in all. NOAA lists 2 tsunamis from elsewhere that reached the coast within 100 km of Kediri with deaths or a metre of water or more. The highest water NOAA records here was 5.5 m, on June 2, 1994. NOAA lists 6 significant eruptions of one volcano within 100 km of Kediri. The largest was Kelud on April 26, 1966, at 4 on the volcanic explosivity index. It killed 215 people by NOAA’s count.

Good to know

  • An event counts for Kediri 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.
