The 2021 Haiti earthquake was the largest to strike the country since the 1842 Cap-Haïtien earthquake. More than 138,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed, most of them in Les Cayes and Nippes. 2,248 people were killed, 12,763 others were injured and 329 people remained missing. It is the deadliest earthquake of 2021. [338] 2,248 12,763 16 [339]

The earthquake struck near Davao Oriental early on Thursday morning, August 12. PHIVOLCS earlier listed the earthquake as magnitude 7.3 at a depth of 69 kilometers, then revised its advisory to a magnitude 7.2 earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 50 kilometers. It later reverted to its original report of a magnitude 7.3 earthquake.
It came on the heels of two other earthquakes on June 7 in the same area near the city of Buford — a 2.5 magnitude quake and another of 2.1 magnitude, which shook the area a few hours earlier ...
Earthquakes in the New Madrid and Wabash Valley seismic zones from 1974 to 2002, with magnitudes larger than 2.5. The zone had four of the largest earthquakes in recorded North American history, with moment magnitudes estimated to be as large as 7 or greater, all occurring within a 3-month period between December 1811 and February 1812. Many of ...
The earthquake ruptured an area of about 120 mi × 60 mi (193 km × 97 km), equal to about 7,200 sq mi (19,000 km 2). The estimated maximum slip along this fault surface was about 3 to 4 m (9.8 to 13.1 ft). [30] The earthquake appears to have only partially ruptured the Shumagin segment of the subduction zone, at 75%.
The most recent similar-sized comparable to the 2021 quake was the 6.9 M w 2016 Fukushima earthquake, which occurred just southwest of where the February 2021 earthquake struck. That earthquake was the result of normal faulting within the overriding Okhotsk Sea Plate at a depth of 9 km (5.6 mi). [ 22 ]
