What the record holds

The strongest was a magnitude 7.3, twice: on November 22, 1815 (Bali) and on September 11, 1916 (Java). The one on November 22, 1815 was the deadliest: NOAA records 11,453 deaths for it. NOAA records deaths in 24 of the events here, 12,503 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 7.3 on September 11, 1916 (Java). NOAA’s record here begins on November 22, 1815 with an earthquake (Bali). NOAA lists one tsunami that began within 100 km of Probolinggo, and 5 from elsewhere that reached it with deaths or a metre of water or more. The highest water NOAA records here was 11.2 m, on June 2, 1994. The deadliest here came on June 2, 1994 from a magnitude 7.8 earthquake (South Of Java): NOAA’s runup records count 9 deaths within 100 km of Probolinggo. NOAA lists 29 significant eruptions of 3 volcanoes within 100 km of Probolinggo. The largest was Semeru on December 4, 2021, at 4 on the volcanic explosivity index. It killed 45 people by NOAA’s count.

Good to know

  • An event counts for Probolinggo 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.
