Interesting that such a quake is assigned a 3.9 magnitude. Check the main page of ORF, the state television of Austria. Hard to find a reference to this major event.
Needless to say that in the surrounding countries there's absolutely no mention of it.

Must be global warming. That explains everything bad in the world. Right?

Approx. 1,452 quakes on this map of the U.S. that includes Puerto Rico; and that is just in the past week. I have been watching the quake info. since about January; at that time the quakes per week on this same map were averaging about 200 - 300. I find it odd that so little is being mentioned about the number of quakes.

How is a 3.9 magnitude quake in the Alps a "major event?"

No. If you have a lot of old buildings that don't regularly undergo shaking by earthquakes, you don't get the susceptible ones culled. When even a smaller earthquake comes along, bam, there's a lot of damage.

This quake is not showing up on any of the earthquake sites. If someone has a link to a site that lists this in english, I'd be very appreciative.

Austria? 3.9??? LOLOLOL---The heck w/ earthquakes in Austria, I want to be able to get down and feel the actual shaking here in L.A. again. Don't knock it till you've literally been lying on the ground when one occurs(Example: The early A.M. "Whittier Quake in '88". That scared me to no end.) It is quite different than sitting in a chair or lying on a bed. (And no offense meant to anyone living in Northridge either.)

I am an Austrian citizen myself, and that is EXTREMELY odd. And it happened in Styria, where Schwarzenegger is originally from.
