Halkatla   Registered Member #674 Joined: Wed Jun 08 2005Location: Skåne / Sweden Posts: 568 | I have now experience my first eartquake, 06:21 this morning I woke up of my bed rumbling and the whole building shaking! Not much news about it yet, but I know it was between 4,5 and 5 on the richterscale, the epi as far as I know was about 125 , kilometers from here, in the southern of Skåne but was felt in whole of Skåne and parts Småland and Blekinge and northern part of Denmark. Last time we had a quake this big was 1904. Ohh well.. I hope I dont have to wake up like this again! :) Do I need to say that Sweden isnt a country known for earthquakes? | ||

picard Registered Member #1450 Joined: Wed Oct 11 2006Location: The Netherlands Posts: 635 | Hmmm...it's not on the list...(yet) Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days Times are in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) Also known as ZULU. This is almost the same as GMT. UTC is an Atomic coordinated time as GMT is an astronomic..(which means GMT has to be corrected with a few second's every now and then)... We had an earthquake once here in The Netherlands...I slept right through it...  NUT ACE out... [ Edited Tue Dec 16 2008 ] | ||

 Registered Member #1213 Joined: Sat May 06 2006Location: Slovenia Posts: 920 | Earthquake? Nothing new your me here, because in last 15 years we had 4-5 earthquekes. The biggest one was 8 years ago and it was up to 6.2 on the richterscale and it was shaking 23 seconds. That time the epi center was only 32 kilometers away from my town. It's not funny when it happens, but what can you do. | ||

| Life is like a box of chocolates... Registered Member #14 Joined: Sat Dec 20 2003Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 2646 | Well, the biggest one in my area was around 3.6. BUT, the real fun is that while we do live in a semi-active zone (we get 1-2 magnitudes a few times a year), we ALSO live 60km from an active Nuclear plant - built ON the fault line - go figure. Good thing its built for that - and has never had a problem. | ||

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list. Registered Member #343 Joined: Fri Oct 29 2004Location: Baton Rouge, LA USA Posts: 1490 | I heard a report on the news this past weekend that they had to add a second or two to the atomic clock to compensate for the earth slowing down in it's revolution over the last hundred years or something...... for details......... http://novan.com/earth.htm This may also help account for some earthquakes and such.

If You gotta live close to one of these, live very close! Everything else will just prolong suffering!  | ||
