Indeed Mike! - Even here in Denmark we have a few quakes through the year, but it is very seldon that they are higher than 1,0-2,0 on the Richter scale. Though, last year we had one of 3,2R - enough to wake me up as it was as if I was being rolled out of the bed, and my budgerigars were screaming wildly and my wall-hanged grandfather clock and pictures were pushed more centimeters. That little experience was enough for me to give me an idea on how it might be, if it was a real bad quake.

Cheers, Erik Richard
