The earthquake was registered at 19.15 around 20 kilometers south-west of Molde and around 30 kilometers from Åndalsnes. The earthquake had a magnitude of around 2.2. – It has such a strength that people can feel it, but it is probably not so strong that it leads to injuries, says Annie Elisabeth Jerkins at the earthquake watch for Norsar. – Some will notice a slight shaking. Many describe it as a rumbling sound, she adds. The figure shows the earthquake recorded at Norsar’s stations.

I had time to think if it could be a fighter plane since, they have been circling the area lately. But the sound was completely different, she says to news. – There was a faint rumble and you could feel that the house vibrated a little, adds Sørli. She then asked her husband if he had noticed the same thing, and he agreed that it must have been an earthquake. They believe the quake lasted around ten seconds. There was a bit of clinking in glass and glass cabinets, but apart from that the situation was quite undramatic, says Sørli. Måndalen in Rauma was one of the places where you could feel the tremor on Monday evening. Photo: Nils Harald Nikolaisen The two have also previously experienced earthquakes. But that time it was stronger. – You feel it in a completely different way than if it had been a fighter plane or something similar. It seems to come from the depths. The sound is also completely different. It is a special natural phenomenon, says Sørli. FYI: Randi Røsvik Sørli is related to another employee at news Møre og Romsdal. This person has not been involved in this case. Published 29/07/2024, at 22.03
