Bhutan was struck by a major earthquake on 4 May 1714. It had an estimated magnitude of about 8.1 Mw and caused shaking that reached IX (Violent) on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. It is thought to have been caused by rupture of the Bhutan part of the Main Frontal Thrust.[1] Damage was reported from west central Bhutan and northeast India.[2] The earthquake resulted in "many fatalities".[3]
