Vienna - 12:30 CET Wien - Erdbeben wurde gespürt Вена - Felt vibration Wien - I was sitting on the sofa & I felt I m tillting on the edge of sofa. Shaking & sounds like tak tak tak. Vienna - earthquake Vienna - noticable (light to moderate) shaking with a few light aftershakes Wien - Surprised as my first earthquake in Austria, coming from Wellington NZ I am used to these Vienna - No damage Vienna - Light Shaking for around 3 secs Vienna - My desk was shaking for about 2 seconds Vienna - weak 1 or 2 seconds shaking Wien - My first strong earthquake Vienna - No damages. Two pushes Wien - Hietzing - keine Schäden, 2sec Schütteln Vienna - 5 sec Vienna - Nothing damaged, some items on my walls were shaking slightly/vibrating, as did the chair I was sitting on. It lasted about 5 seconds. Vienna - More like a strong thud under your feet. Similar to when a heavily-laden truck hits a bump in the road. Vienna - Computer Screen moved about 2 seconds. Wien - Mialam wrazenie, ze ktos obok mnie mocno skacze. Vienna - Felt the shaking and has a feeling that's what it was as it was so atypical - my office is on 4th floor of old building so it was recognizable. Vienna - 3 or 4 seconds. Felt like a heavy truck going by outside, but I am on 6th floor. Monaco - Quelques secousses légère ressentie à Monaco. Brno - Weak shaking felt on Brno city (Czech Republic), no damage, but objects were noticeably shaking, lasted for a few seconds München - Car two times like hopped on the street Bad Vöslau - Mi trovavo al piano terra e ho avvertito un movimento ondulatorio del pavimento Wien - Lasted 10-15 seconds Vienna - Around 12:30, I felt the entire building was shaking, the windows had loud shaking sounds for a few seconds Wien - I was in the Office on 6th floor and suddendly the whole building started to literrally shake and vibrate, also the furniture in the Office. It was maximal 10 seconds. At that time, nobody thought that THAT was an earthquake, because it is not so common in Europe. Brno - no damage, just to my sanity, we don´t get them here so I was surprised Wenen - Mijn bed schudde en het duurde langer dan de eerste keer toen ik een kleine aardbeving in Wenen heb meegemaakt. Misschien komt er nog meer? http://www.thelocal.at/20151215/large-scale-earthquake-possible-in-vienna Vienna - No damage, felt very well whilst sitting, about 5 sec long Vienna - On 23rd floor and felt slight rocking and up and down movement for 5 seconds or so Vienna - Lasted about 3-5 sec Wien - I was at home, 2 floor, old building (1900), I felt that the ceiling and floor were vibrating during several seconds. No damage in the flat.

Vienna - Felt the earthquake, 2 light shakings, lasted approx. 5 seconds Brunn Am Gebirge - Heard rumbling and felt office building vibrate for a couple of seconds. Windows rattled, floor vibrated. Building noticeably vibrated briefly. wien 16 - I was sitting at the table using the laptop when the whole room started to shake. It wasn’t the washing machine in spin way too strong for that. Went on-line and discovered it was an earthquake. The old brick building was constructed circa 1900 and the masonery is extreemly bad/weak. Some bricks can be pulled out by hand! A quake much larger than that, say 5 or 5.5, has the real potential to bring the whole 4-story building down. Given the area history it would be prudent to require upgrades. Wien - 7й этаж, чувствительно подпрыгивала мебель
