I was sitting at my desk last night at about 9.30pm when everything started to rumble. Nothing fell off the walls and nothing broke or really rattled but I did think it quite strange. Well, I've just found out that it was an earthquake and with a little further research I've found out that the epicentre was approximately 120km south of us.
Because of where we are and because earthquake activity isn't that common, about ten times a year throughout Sweden, we don't have an accurate way to measure it according to the Richter magnitude scale, but Norsa have been quite specific and said it was 2.46, while Uppsala University seismologist Reynir Bödvarsson, who is actually in Sweden, said it "was an earthquake stronger than 2.3 but less than 3 on the Richter scale".
Just when you think you know what you're getting in Sweden, this happens. Next we'll get snow in July.
