Small Earthquake in Seekirchen?

Unread post by Simon Dismore »

I just checked the Google Map for the EC Software HQ. At high resolution, the world ends right on their street!

So I'd be interested to know whether Südtirolerstraße 1b is in the affected area. Is the office at the south-west (Mühlbachstraße) end of the road or is up at the doomed Hauptstraße junction?

Simon,

You are viewing the wrong end of Suedtirolerstrasse. We are located at the opposite end and were not affected by the earthquake. The seismographic waves ended in the middle of the street and it is yet not clear what has caused the earthquake. It was either a breakdown of that prefabricated house that you see in the lower part of the image or - more likeley - a horde of kids from the kindergarten collectively stomping with their feet. Anyway, there were no significant damages, no animals were hurt and the Internet connection remained stable during the accident :twisted:

Maybe it was too much double-clicking in the TOC.... :roll:
