Oh my! I didn't know that could happen so close to me :-)

it's not that close :) However, Sweden has very low seismicity. You are lucky... in Scandinavia, earthquakes of magnitude 5 occur only once in 100 years. But I just discovered in the list of most recent quakes that one month ago, there was one (magnitude 1.9) in Northern Sweden!

Oh dear - an earthquake in Sweden! ;-)

And Belgium is closer that the places from which one usually hears of earthquakes :-)

*sigh* I'd like to be in Sweden now and admire those endless landscapes... but I have to be content being at my office desk and spend my time with those elks :)
