For what it’s worth, it’s been upgraded to 4.7-5 now. And it made a mediaeval church roof cave in. That should at least make us dilettantes.
Well, if it actually caved in a roof (hope nobody was hurt!) of a church people were fond of, I think we can give you credit for it.
Got any links for the church roof cave in? I can’t find it on Sydsvenskan.se 
This is what I found - a video clip at Expressen.se (it’s in Swedish, no subtitling). The church was right on top of the epicenter. And, well, caved in is way too strong a statement as I realize now watching the clip. Bits of the roof fell down. Sorry about that exaggeration. (Man, I just wanted to make it to dilettante!)
Nifty, I’ll have to check it out when I get home.
But at least one churchdid get demolished 
Hmm… I’ll be in Sweden next week (I am in Fynn, Denmark, now). I swear I had nothing to do with this.
And by the way, it’s not an earthquake if nobody gets hurt. At least in the MG scale. I have had my share of shakes, but I live on top of a fault, one expected to give us a big one any time. Life in the Caribbean is exciting like that.
Well, it’s obvious now who to blame for the earthquake – Norwegian black metal!
It’s not so exciting. I’ve not been through a big one, but a few 3.5-5.5 ones, and it’s a little shaking, and that’s it. Any “cool” earthquake would probably invole a 6+…

I live there too. I didn’t actually notice anything but I did wake up at 6:22 for some reason. Might have been the quake…
Hm, a friend of mine who lives in Malmo (I know there should be dots on the o, but I don’t know how to make them) has her Facebook status listed as something like “[Kyla’s friend] was woken by something that felt like an earthquake this morning!” I spent a few seconds pondering what it could have been that felt like an earthquake in Sweden. Maybe a big truck drove past her house?
It didn’t occur to me that it was actually an earthquake!
Yawn We don’t get worked up over a shaker that’s only a 5 on the Richter. Call back if you get a 6 or 7. 
I was in West Hollywood, not all that far from Northridge when that earthquake hit in January of 1994.
It was not the first earthquake I had been in while living in California, but I hope it is the last one*. Wasn’t all that much fun, trust me.
- I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada…and though you would think earthquakes would not be a danger here, I was surprised to learn there are actually whole bunches of faults running through the valley here that could surprise us all one day. Luckily, they build homes here to California earthquake specifications, which helps but is no guarantee.
Knowing several people who were in Kobe in 1995, and having family who were in Mexico City in 1985, I’m a little distraught at the use of the word “cool” when talking about large earthquakes. Widespread death and destruction… Not so “cool” in my book.
Having grown up in a very stable part of the world, I sort of understand, though. Small earthquakes happened from time to time, and they never did anything more than provide conversation fodder for the next day. Now I live in the most earthquake-prone country, where “the big one” isn’t a possibility, it’s a certainty, and when things start to shake, I swear my heart misses a beat.
Fond? Church? Sweden?
You must be joking!

ETA: I’ve never experienced an earthquake (I live in Alabama), but my cousin’s house was destroyed by a tornado one time.
A WoW guildie of mine who’s Danish said it had woken him, but I don’t know where exactly he is.
I’m from Spain and my family home is close to an Air Force practice area. We can tell the difference between an earthquake and “the Americans are using live bombs, there must be a war about to happen” (the Spanish Air Force has a bombs budget… in arrears… so it can’t be them, they’re not going to waste live bombs for practice).
In hindsight, I’m rather disappointed I didn’t feel it. Seriously, how likely am I to ever get to feel an earthquake and not have to worry the least bit?
And some people still don’t believe in climate change.
