Earthquake in Norway
The quake shook buildings and windows in the area and emergency services were flooded with phone calls, Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported. Apparently, there have been no injuries. The earthquake measured a little over 4 on the Richter scale, and is the strongest on land Norway has experienced in many years.
Earthquakes of this strength are not uncommon in Norway, but are usually centered on the seabed, off the coast of Western Norway, and rarely noticable on land.
