Earthquake in Sweden

An 4.7 earthquake must seem like nothing to people living in places like California. But in Sweden, where that just happened with the epicenter a couple of miles from where I live its a big deal. By far the strongest earthquake in Sweden for a century.

All happening along the Tornqvist-zone. The ancient fault line zone streching through my home province Skåne (Scania). Ive written som more about in in my Swedish geoblog.

  1. Just recently an earthquake struck in L’Aquila, Italy it has 6.3 magnitude and the damage is far more than any online cash advance can help with. The death toll is expected to climb over 100 and up to 50,000 are left homeless. Italy is no stranger to nature’s fury, as Mount Etna in Sicily and Mount Vesuvius and Mount Strabo have all wreaked havoc since ancient times. Let us count ourselves fortunate if all we have to worry about is an online cash advance instead of an earthquake
