Two incredible earthquakes M6.1 and M7.3 hit the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Qinghai

A strong and shallow earthquake registered by the USGS as M6.1 hit Yunnan, China at 13:48 UTC (21:48 LT). The epicenter was located 28 km (18 miles) NW of Dali (population 134 040) and 125 km (78 miles) S of Lijiang (population 1 137 600), China. There are about 3 800 000 people living within 100 km (62 miles). 4 000 people are estimated to have felt very strong shaking, 304 000 strong, and 737 000 moderate.

A very strong and shallow earthquake registered by the USGS as M7.3 hit southern Qinghai, China at 18:04 UTC. The epicenter was located 389 km (242 miles) SW of Xining, Qinghai (population 767 531) and 532 km (331 miles) WSW of Lanzhou (population 2 628 426), Gansu, China. There are about 37 000 people living within 100 km (62 miles). 6 000 people are estimated to have felt very strong shaking, 28 000 strong, and 369 000 moderate.

This earthquake was preceded about 4.5 hours by an M6.1 Yunnan earthquake approximately 1 000 km (620 miles) southeast of the M7.3 epicenter, so the two earthquakes are too distant to be considered a foreshock-mainshock pair, the USGS said. The distance between these two events, combined with the relatively small magnitude of the earlier M6.1, indicates that the two earthquakes are likely not
