I don't think the difference between an estimated 4.6 and 5.1 on an approximate measuring system means diddly squat. I'd say any tremor when you're down the Kiruna mine at a depth of 2 kilometres is worrying, with huge chunks of rock dropping down on you:I think you need to look at how a logarithmic scale works

Have you never wondered why so few churches in that area have spires ? over 1200 buildings were damaged by the 1884 quake and Langenhoe church was very severely damaged, reports of observers said that if it had happened at that time, on a Sunday morning there would have been many of the congregation killed. Several other churches lost their spires and were damaged

Seen that, you've posted it before. Creeping dementia😅
Did you watch the boiling Ali in the ants nest one, skip to the end, see the result. I note they didn't say "No Ants Were Harmed in the Making of this Video"
