Apparently there was just a small earthquake in the Czech Republic today, and one on July 4th as well.
But have no fear. Worldwide there are over 8,000 earthquakes of magnitude 2.0 or less every day, and nobody feels them. Apparently, earthquakes can start to be felt over 3.0, but even then they are very weak and rarely cause damage. The earthquakes that cause major damage are usually in the 7.0 - 9.0 range...a million times stronger than a 1.9 would be.
