Can't believe Earthquakes can happen in Hong Kong.

Last night an earthquake reached Richter scale 3.5 struck Hong Kong. People felt the tremor in Wong Chuk Han. The epicentre was in Dangan Island.

What ashame that I had no idea about the earthquake history of Hong Kong, as a Geography student. Anyway, I got the following information from this morning SCMP:

The strongest earthquake to strike Hong Kong was on February 13, 1918, measuring 8 on the Richter scale. Damage in the city was light but 1,000 people were killed in Shantou, Guangdong.
The second-strongest quake, on September 16, 1994, measured 6.5, 50 times less strong than the 1918 one, rattling the city for 30 seconds.
