All credit to someone I stole this from on reddit.

That super volcano under Italy probably can't take a whole lot more shaking...

P, S, S'S, R'1 ? 0:42-0:22 looks like 20 seconds warning to get outside I guess?

The real story: OPs mom slipped and fell.

I'm in The Netherlands and noticed absolutely nothing so I wonder what the dots really mean.

Most of those quakes are <1, you don't feel that. And if you do only in or near Groningen.

Can someone explain to me why France, Italy & Eastern Europe has coverage like that map of pubs in Ireland, and yet Great Britain has one single seismic station in Scotland only?

There are lots in UK, whoever made the chart didn't include them. https://earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/data/broadband_stationbook.html

Aah, that's good to know. Seemed as though it were a really odd thing to have a seismology desert there, with Ireland right beside so flush with stations.

So is Spain immune to seismic waves, or do they only have two monitoring stations in the entirety of Spain

They don't seem to be connected to whatever network they extracted this info from. https://visualizadores.ign.es/estaciones_sismicas/

They have plenty of stations, but wild boars keep breaking them.

There's a pretty good mountain range along the border, probably absorbs some of the waves?

I'm guessing the UK is missed out because we sold the sensors off to... whoever

BGS operates almost all of the UK stations. https://earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli_dir_shz/ELSH_SHZ_GB_00.2025032800.gif

The record for Elham (near folkstone) station, but all of them do show a similar wave.

I was assuming that Cameron had sold it off to China or Murdoch or whoever for about ten bob because "We need to get down the deficit"

The Dutch people are tall enough to produce their own seismic waves as they walk!

Much of that land is likely going to classify as unconsolidated wetlands, meaning local seismographs will tend to pick up many events others won't, such as the passing of a train or even a large truck, operation of a pile-driver, etc., causing surface ripples on swampy land which otherwise would not be as evident on bedrock or firm ground. I'm wildly speculating, of course, as I don't live there but I have operated a seismograph w/ sensors placed at sea level on unconsolidated former marshland.

In the Netherlands we control the hight of the groundwater and almost all land is cultivated.

Its because of the gas mining

Think we just have a very high amount of seismic sensors, in part to monitor local earthquakes as a result of gas mining. A map of sensors: https://rdsa.knmi.nl/network/NL/

Yup. There's also some geological activity in the lower Rhine area, which caused the 1992 earthquake at a 5.9 Richter, but that's super rare.

My guess is that it would also have something to do wirh being recovered land below sea level, and therefore being less stable / more sensitive to vibration.

I was gonna say it’s probably a music festival but I think your explanation is probably more accurate
