The 1930 Bago earthquake (Burmese: ၁၉၃၀ ပဲခူးတိုင်းငလျင်), also known as the Swa earthquake and Pegu earthquake struck Burma on May 5 with a moment magnitude between 7.3 and 7.5. This earthquake was one of the most destructive to hit the country, and one of many earthquakes to affect the country between 1929 and 1931. Extensive damage was reported in the southern part of the country. More than 550 people were reportedly killed, although the death toll may be as high as 5,000 to 7,000. A moderate tsunami was generated along the Burmese coast as a result of the earthquake, however it only caused minor damage.
