Earthquake force of 2.5 in Groningen – NU.nl

This reports the KNMI.

According to the first measurements of the KNMI the quake had a magnitude of 2.5. “That is more common, but it’s definitely something that people feel,” seismologist Läslo Evans explained.

Both the KNMI and regional media were many reports. RTV Noord received many phone calls from the area of ​​Hoogezand and Slochteren, the main venue for gas production in the Netherlands.

The epicenter was in accordance with the KNMI exactly between those two places, at Froombosch, at a depth of three kilometers.

Gas production is the cause of many earthquakes in the province. Whether the quake caused damage is still unknown
