Earthquake!

[rhialto]

I was sitting on my sofa, watching tv (on the computer), and I felt my sofa move forward and backward... hmmm... it is not supposed to do that sort of thing. So I thought, is this an earthquake? And so it was, I wasn't the only one who felt it.
The epicentre was about 21 km south of here, and the magnitude was apparently 4,4.
Quote: "#emsc meldt: epicentrum op 51.66 N, 5.95 O, 2 km diep, 21 km S van nijmegen, 1 km O van boxmeer #aardbeving magn 4,4"

Edit: the epicentre has been revised by EMSC to being closer now:  51.76 N ; 5.95 E, depth 10 km, "11 km SE Nijmegen (pop 158,732 ; local time 21:02:48.0 2011-09-08) 4 km S Groesbeek (pop 18,741 ; local time 21:02:48.0 2011-09-08)"

The last time I was in an earthquake (1992, I think everybody is mentioning now) I slept through it. That one was a bit stronger but further away (epicentre near Roermond).
