Earthquake in Seoul

It might not be much to folks living in Japan or California, but Seoul and the neighbouring area had an earthquake that a lot of people were able to clearly feel a couple of hours ago. That does not happen very often. In fact, it's the first quake I was able to feel while I was in Seoul area.

Preliminary analysis from Korea Meteorological Agency states that the magnitude was 3.0 and the epicenter was at 37.45N 126.80E, which is 8km north of Siheung, near Siheung IC of Expressway #100. That's just southwest of Seoul.

It definitely ignited a flurry of twits from all over. I hope things don't get worse than this.

Curiously, the President was out of the Blue House to visit Chuncheong province today. Maybe he knew something?
