[link to www.simnet.is]

a 4.9-5.3 just hit

Sorry...

I was playing poker on pokerstars and saw the 4.8 quake on my desktop EQ Widget...Lost all my games on poker, hit Opera, had a look at Iceland and came straight here without looking at other posts.......

i dont mind. as long as people get to see it.

5.1

This will blow over in the next 2-3 hours

^^This^^ Hit the nail on the head my friend!

I'm afraid you could be right...

Have evacuation orders in the region been given yet? What time is it in Iceland?

No and time is 01:40 UTC afer midnight

Wowzers.......You have to go and unsettle my nerves more..Ok, I'm not in Iceland but a major big eruption there could spell havoc in the UK...

What is the news over there?

Thank you for posting Davo and sorry your going through this.....

My heart is pounding away and I'm not living there...

Please, stay safe and if it continues, get away from there..

A major eruption could shut down air traffic over most of Europe.

But that's my smallest concern... Most people there are sleeping right now and don't know what's going on.

Why has USGS only picked up one?

thank you and i will keep you posted :)

this is starting to affect hekla..

Quite heavy earthquake swarm in North of Iceland, Siglufjörður region and tjörnes Rift Zone. Currently 31 quake larger than 3 Richter (them stars), several over 4. Some broken windows and Church bells ringing them selves have been reported. No serious damage yet, but this can go on all night long.

(Likely there are lots of Ghost quakes on map, but VC gang, this is such times we can swamp IMO servers if not careful, so use website sparingly, I only use one tab at a time watching, refreshing only now or then) And I felt a quake here, seems there has been some larger than that, perhaps close to five, according to strain meters at Hek and Bur …)
