Remember the Manchester earthquake of 2001 or something. Our office shook a little and some of the operations department headed for the exits. My dept stayed at their posts.

Almost exactly two years ago there was an earthquake in Skåne, southern Sweden. But it was HUGE compared to this (4,7 richters or sth)

Being an inhabitant of Southern California let me just say
But actually me and Pappa were just talking about this a couple days ago (I said the UK doesn't get earthquakes and he said they do though not too often

)

Yeah, a SoCal resident must think anything less than a 6.0 need not even make the news.
I felt a tiny earthquake here in Korea once. I was rounding a turn on my motorcycle and my rear wheel skipped over a bit for no apparent reason. I guessed it had gone through a patch of sand or something slippery. It was only later that I found out what caused it.
I haven't been in a good disaster since Hurricane Camille. :sighsm:
