Abstract

The strongest earthquake in Slovenia in 2015 with magnitude 4.2 shook Gorjanci Mountains on 1 November at 8:52 CET and was felt almost across the entire Slovenia. Some buildings suffered extensive damage: wide and deep cracks appeared in the walls, roof tiles slipped off, many chimneys were damaged. Intensities were estimated based on more than 3700 macroseismic questionnaires and data from field investigations in the epicentral area. The maximum intensity was estimated at VII EMS-98 at Stojanski Vrh and Vinji Vrh. By the end of 2015, 837 aftershocks were located. The inhabitants felt at least 31 aftershocks.
