At this very moment an f-16 with a pod under it is scanning the area. (I love planes!)
Yesterday evening I experienced my first earthquake, I was bored. So it was an exciting gift.
Magnitude 3.7
Region The Netherlands
Date time 2012-08-16 20:30:32.0 UTC
Location 53.36 N ; 6.48 E
I live on the epicenter.
The green spots on the map are gasfields, the red ones oil. One of the largest natural gas fields in the world is almost located under my house.
Details:
Depth 10 km
Distances: 16 km NW Groningen (pop 181,194 ; local time 22:30:32.8 2012-08-16)
3 km NW Winsum (where I live) (pop 14,310 ; local time 22:30:32.8 2012-08-16)
Additional info.
The gas field which NAM had discovered turned out to be one of the biggest in the world, covering an area of around 900 km² and with original producible gas reserves estimated at 2,700 billion m³. In 1959, when a NAM exploration well struck gas near a village named Slochteren in the northern province of Groningen, it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the country's history, a chapter in which natural gas plays a prominent role. The gas field which NAM had discovered turned out to be one of the biggest in the world, covering an area of around 900 km² and with original producible gas reserves estimated at 2,700 billion m³. The sale of the gas has earned a great deal of money and, since a large share of the sale proceeds is paid to the state, the Groningen field has helped to contribute to the country's prosperity.

@p8urbyk5 hehe no I am not the stressfull type. But the same morning the woningboiuw came to inspect some cracks in the walls.
First thing I did was sliding open my window and get ready to stand up and step out the window onto the roof as soon as I would hear bricks crack. No damage seen.

If you ever spent any time in S. Cali, a 3.7 barely shakes the bubbles from the sides of your beer mug.

We've seen bigger shaking from Helga the overweight dwarf having orgasm, who like most dykes in Holland, loves as many fingers plugging her holes as possible.
