The M5.7 event from Dec. 17 (left) was felt in Morocco, Portugal and wide parts of southwestern Spain (Sevilla, Cordoba, Málaga, Huelva). There were no injured persons or casualties.
On Nov. 1, 1755, an earthquake with an approx. magnitude of 9 occured ~200 km SW of Portugal. The earthquake and the following tsunami destroyed Lisbon and killed several tens of thousands of people. The waves devastated wide parts of the Iberian and Moroccan coast and were also observed at the shores of America and the Caribbean.
