I have experienced 2-3 Earth Quakes when I used to live in USA.

Greece is a clockwork bomb of earthquakes. Most of are small but sometimes they are much bigger.

Guys and gals, I live in Nijmegen!

Everyone here noticed it. I was behind my PC and my monitor started shaking, it was f**king awesome! Everyone ran out to check what happened, and then twitter, facebook and that kinda things got flooded by messages like "WHAT THE F**K EARTHQUAKE?!"

And today all the teachers were like "Did y'all notice the earthquake, it was f**king awesome, I finally noticed one and I wasn't f**king sleeping motherf**kers!" My teacher was so happy

I know right, but it was a really small earthquake and I don't think there will be any huge earthquakes in The Netherlands, it's already unique there has been one!

Sure I care about huge earthquakes in other countries, but if there's an earthquake here, it's awesome!

I live in Brabant. I don't live far from Limburg and also not far from German border. We didn't feel it here.

Why do people from the Netherlands like earthquakes....?

I guess your earth plate WENT STRAIGHT INTO CUBA

[Machiavelli]

Because it never happens.

It may be exciting for the first time to experience something new, but keep in mind you got lucky. If it had been a much larger one, your whole house could have collapsed on you. Remember your safety first and get everyone outside safely, away from any trees, buildings, or power lines.

As for it happening there, of all places, it's rare there because the tectonic plates often don't have large collisions in that side of the world, so the activity for earthquakes that you can actually feel are much less common than where I live, which is California. Ironically, California has the San Andreas Fault, (and the name in itself can be seen as a pun to this community, thanks to GTA), yet I've never felt a single earthquake, and that area is the most earthquake-ridden in the world. As far as I know, when I was younger, I slept through a very, very small earthquake one night, and I'm a very light sleeper. Since then I've heard no reports of any in my area, which is very lucky for me because I've lived in both Northern and Southern California.

There will never be a big earthquake in Holland.

Bull****. It will happen some day. it's just a matter of time. Not a single place on the planet is immune to it.

Stop trolling SugarD

[SugarD]

I'm not trolling. It's scientifically impossible to exclude ANY location on the planet from an earthquake. Do the damn research.
