In 2008, we had an earthquake that measured 2.46 on the Richter magnitude scale and the one we just had, I'd say, was about the same.

I say 'just had', because it happened about 10 minutes ago. I couldn't post as I was watching the World Cup match between Brazil and North Korea and that was more interesting.

It was a little familiar and as soon as I felt the floor shaking I knew what it was - so tomorrow I'll check to make sure nothing has fallen off the house and I'll go looking to find out how big it was but like I wrote above, it was very similar to last time, but will be interesting nonetheless.

Just thought I'd post - earthquakes don't happen every day, in fact about ten times a year in Sweden. We must be lucky to have two in two years!

I'll update this page with information on the epicentre and scale of the earthquake.
