Macroseismic intensity data of the 22 April 2013 Tenk (Hungary) earthquake
Abstract On 22 April 2013 an earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred near the village of Tenk (Hungary), which was the strongest Hungarian earthquake in the past 28 years. This event was detected by a number of seismological stations, thus it is well documented. Nevertheless, it is still possible to get further data through macroseismic surveys, which cannot be obtained using seismological instruments, but are very useful for the understanding of seismic properties of the affected area. The studied earthquake was felt in approximately third of the territory of Hungary. The number of incoming macroseismic questionnaires was over eight hundred and damage descriptions for the epicentral area reached almost one thousand. Intensity evaluation was carried out following the European Macroseismic Scale guidelines. Intensities were assigned to 211 places, including 23 districts of Budapest. The earthquake caused non-structural building damages, the epicentral intensity was estimated as VI on the EMS-98 scale and was assigned to three villages: Tenk, Átány and Erdőtelek. The event was widely felt west to the epicentre, but much less observed in the east direction. The asymmetry of the intensity distribution raises questions and requires further investigation.
