And now an earthquake...

Having just had a large forest fire on the Costa Brava, now we've just had a small (3.9 Richter Scale) earthquake with an epicentre just off the coast between Palamos and Palafrugell. It's quite unusual - the Costa Brava is definitely not an earthquake zone - and the size was nowhere near large enough to cause any damage, but enough to shake the house a little and raise a few eyebrows. We have building work next door and had assumed it was connected to the builders digging out foundations creating some ground movement until we saw the news that confirmed it was a genuine seismic event.
