An earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurred in Fiji Islands. How does it feel?

A recent earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurred in Fiji Islands with a focal depth of 300 kilometers. The epicenter was located at 18.90 degrees south latitude and 175.95 degrees west longitude. You may not be familiar with the Fiji Islands. Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean, bordering Vanuatu in the east, Tonga in the west and Tuvalu in the south. It consists of 332 islands, many of which are uninhabited. Fiji is a Pacific island country, most of which are volcanic islands surrounded by coral reefs, mainly viti levu and Vanuatu. Fiji has fascinating colorful seawater, many grotesque coral reefs, blue sky and white clouds, which are the focus of attracting tourists.

Fiji has a tropical maritime climate and is often hit by hurricanes. The annual average temperature is 22 ~ 30℃. The forest covers an area of 935,000 hectares, accounting for about half of the country's land area, and the mining value is about 250,000 hectares, producing high-quality hardwood and pine trees. There are two gold mines, a small amount of copper and silver resources, bauxite and oil resources are being explored.

There are abundant fishery resources and tuna resources, with a population of 849,000, of which Fijians account for 56.8%, Indians account for 37.5%, and China and overseas Chinese account for about 8,000. The official languages are English, Fijian and Hindi, and English is widely used. Fiji is a Pacific island country, consisting of 332 islands. Because it is located in the Pacific Rim-Himalayan seismic belt and is a country with frequent earthquakes, there have been many earthquakes so far.

We should know that buildings are generally not damaged by earthquakes of magnitude 4.0-5.0, while earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or above are destructive, and cracks will appear in the guide walls of some old houses. When the magnitude is greater than 6, some old houses will collapse. It is conceivable how destructive the 6.2-magnitude earthquake is to the local area.
