In-Depth Information
The Gouraya earthquake occurred without any premonitory sign but was followed
by a series of aftershocks with the two most important strong events (that occurred
the same day) showed no further damage or casualties. According to Ambraseys
and Vogt (1988), the aftershocks continued to the beginning of the following month.
However, Hee (1950) reports some shocks which hit the Cherchell region on June,
July and September 1891.
