i just posted this over on the eq prediction thread.
not sure if this is a bot hit or not. this is very rare, though not huge.
STOCKHOLM: An earthquake measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale hit southern Sweden early Tuesday, the Seismological Institute at Uppsala
University
said, but no damage was immediately reported.
The quake, which hit at 6:20 am (0520 GMT), had its epicentre some 59 kilometres (36 miles) southeast of Sweden's third-largest city Malmoe, the
institute said.
Media reports indicated the shock was felt throughout southern Sweden and northern Denmark, including the Danish capital Copenhagen, as buildings and
homes shook but no damage was reported.
Earthquakes of this magnitude are rare in Scandinavia.
"For Sweden this is a very big quake," Reynar Boedvarsson of the Seismological Institute told Swedish news agency TT.
"It's not dangerous for people but there may be cracks in building constructions," he said.

now, this may not be it. however, with this being rare and they were calling for two quakes, one smaller than the other. maybe they picked this one up
as the smaller one because of how rare it was. that was the biggest quake in 104 years.
or, maybe they completely failed. take it for what its worth. but im keeping my eyes open.
