The eruption in Montserrat in 1995 was a catastrophic event but it did not have a specific Richter scale measurement because the scale is typically used to measure earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Instead, volcanic eruptions are typically measured using the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) which gives a sense of the eruption's intensity and explosiveness.
In the Monserrat eruption, 19 lives were lost. The volcanic activity began in 1995 and resulted in widespread destruction and displacement of residents on the Caribbean island.
After being dormant for over 300 years, Montserrat's volcano, the Soufrière Hills, started to show volcanic activity on the 18th July 1995, when smoke rose from the top of Chance's Peak and tremors shook the island. It has been active ever since.
The repair costs of the Montserrat eruption was $268,000.00. Between storm damage and volcanic eruptions, Montserrat averages 8,645.00 damage annually. In the last volcanic eruption 5,000 people were affected and 32 were killed.
The Last eruption was on the 26th December 2008 -29th March 2009
Aftershocks following the Kobe earthquake in 1995 ranged in magnitude from about 3 to 7.3 on the Richter scale. These aftershocks continued for several weeks, adding to the devastation and disrupting relief efforts.

The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale. It caused widespread devastation in the region, resulting in thousands of deaths and significant damage to buildings and infrastructure.

The biggest Earthquake to hit Japan in 47 years hit Kobe.It measured 7.2 on the Richter magnitude scale.
Guri Richter died on August 21, 1995, in Denmark.
The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
1990-1995
The 1995 eruption of Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat resulted in 19 deaths. It was a small eruption, but it triggered a larger and more destructive eruption that occurred in 1997, causing further devastation and loss of life.
