After alarm about tremors in Stockholm: No earthquake
Many have reported to Aftonbladet about mysterious tremors in the ground that were felt in areas around Värmdö, Gustavsberg, Möja, Nynäshamn and Saltarö.
However, according to measurements from the Swedish National Seismological Network, SNSN, there is nothing in the area to indicate that there would be an earthquake.
– We can with all certainty rule out that it was an earthquake, says Björn Lund, seismologist at SNSN.
The rescue service in Greater Stockholm says that the tremors in Värmdö may be related to road construction.
– We have noted that tremors have been heard in Värmdö. But we have not received any more information than that, it being road construction. But we don’t know, says Henrik Jynnersjö at the rescue service.
