The European Earthquake Center states that there has been an earthquake in the Norwegian Sea 51 kilometers west of Ulsteinvik. The earthquake had a strength of 4. It happened at 21.49. The quake was five kilometers deep. Sunnmørsposten writes that several people have called them and told them about the possible earthquake. – First there was a loud bang, then there was shaking afterwards. It was so powerful that we jumped out, but there was nothing to see. I thought maybe it was a landslide, since we live by a mountain, says Otto Sandvik in Sandvika between Tjørvåg and Moltustranda.
