We just had an earthquake at 6,7, beetween Hvergerði og Selfoss, almost in Magni's backyard

No casualty but a lot of damage.

People feelt it in a big radius.

I was at work and was downstairs in the workshop having coffee and smoke and didn't feel a thing but when I came upstairs the guy's were talking about things were shaking but they thought that was because the guys at the workshop were moving a big bulldozer

I said to them, we wouldn't know if there'd be a big quake and then I heard it in the radio on my way home - it was actually a quake this time

My husband and I are leaving next week for a 10 day visit to Iceland.  I am so sorry to hear of the earthquake and proceeding damage - thank goodness there were no casualties.  

Please log in and let us know here on the website that you are ok!  Thinking of Magni, Lolinna, Bonny...and everyone in Iceland.

Without music, life is a journey through a desert.

Since the root of the quake was only 5 kilometers from Hveragerði I guess Magni did feel it

They are removing everyone from the hospital in Selfossi due to some damage on the building.

People are asked not to be inside cuz they're kind of expecting another big one, and they who have friends or family in f.e. Reykjavík are asked to go and spend the night there.

Fortunatly the weather is great.

mynd

 

At Eyrarbakka and Stokkseyri also were some great damages, people lost everything.

I am very worried.  I hope you are all ok.  I am waiting to hear from some friends there.  Please be safe in case there is more.

Oh my! I'm just catching up to this now... That's a pretty sizeable quake! ...glad to hear there were no casualties! Reuters quoted some officials saying damage wasn't major around Selfoss but from those pics it looks like it may have done quite a bit. Hope that Magni and all the peeps around there didn't get hit too hard damage-wise.

Always wondered about the potential for some big ones there, seeing how seismically active it can potentially be.

I was in Akureyri when it hit - going home in the morningn to see the damages - my boys went to my house and it´s a bloody mess, glass everywhere.
But it´s only stuff - My guitars are ok so although my cd collection is partly toast and all my gold albums are broken on the floor - nobody got hurt.
