| - The 1953 Concepción earthquake occurred on May 6 at 17:16 UTC (13:16 local time). The epicenter was located offshore Biobío Region, Chile. It had a magnitude of Ms 7.6, or ML 7.6. Twelve people were reported dead in this earthquake. In Concepción, 15% of the buildings were damaged. Electricity and gas were not affected. However, the electricity service was suspended as a precaution. In Chillán, the intensity reached MM X. Many houses were destroyed. The electricity, telegraph, and telephone services were interrupted. In Tomé, several houses were damaged, and many families stayed in the open. This earthquake was located close to the 1939 Chillán earthquake. However, the focal mechanism of the 1953 Concepción earthquake was reverse faulting, while that of the 1939 Chillán earthquake was normal faulting. It was not clear whether the 1953 Concepción earthquake was an interplate or intraplate earthquake. (en)
- El Terremoto de Cachapoal de 1953, o también llamado Terremoto de San Carlos de 1953 o Terremoto del Ñuble de 1953, fue un sismo registrado el 6 de mayo de 1953 a las 08:43 horas (UTC-4), cuya magnitud fue de 7.6 grados en la escala de Richter y IX, e incluso X grados en algunas partes, en la escala de Mercalli. Si bien fue uno de los terremotos más grandes de Chile, no produjo tanto daño al no haber mucha población en la zona afectada. Se pudo apreciar desde Coquimbo hasta Castro (de norte a sur) y desde el Gran Concepción hasta el Gran Buenos Aires (de oeste a este). Los pueblos más afectados fueron San Fabián de Alico, el cual quedó interrumpido por derrumbes en el camino y hubo un muerto, y Cachapoal; en este último el 100% de las estructuras quedaron con graves daños y hubo cinco muertos. Luego seguían San Carlos, Coihueco y Chillán, donde hubo pánico por el terremoto anterior ocurrido apenas 14 años antes. También hubo daños en Gran Concepción, Los Ángeles, Lebu, Talca, Parral y Angol. La zona más austral de comunicación era San Fernando, debido a que el terremoto cortó las comunicaciones incluso para Punta Arenas, que no fue afectada. Murieron doce personas, 40 quedaron heridas y 11 750 personas quedaron sin hogar. (es)
