1833 Bihar-Nepal earthquake
The 1833 Nepal-India earthquake occurred on August 26 at 22:58 local time (NPT). This earthquake had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.6-7.9 and struck with an epicenter somewhere in or near the Kathmandu Valley. The earthquake caused major destruction in numerous towns and villages in Nepal, northern India, and Tibet. The earthquake was also felt in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Despite the extent of the damage, the number of fatalities resulting from the earthquake was surprisingly low, at approximately 500. This was because the mainshock was preceded by two smaller but intense foreshocks earlier that day, causing many residents to take refuge outside their homes.
