The 1903 Oceana earthquake is the most destructive earthquake to have occurred in Lovia but not the most lethal. There were three casualties in Hurbanova, six in Scotland, two on the City Archipelago and one German speaking man died in Antnitz, a former hamlet on the northern coast of Oceana, bringing the total number of human loss of life at twelve people. It was estimated that about 50% of domesticated bovine cattle (roughly 2.500) were either killed or injured to such extent that they had to be slaughtered. The main reason for this is because in March the animals were still in their poorly constructed stalls while the earthquake shook the ground. After the event, the number of cattle remained low and never reached 5.000 again (being replaced by other livestock such as sheep and goats).
