There are real earthquakes in the Netherlands. Are you sure?

In the last 1000 years, there have been only three earthquakes in Germany that were magnitude 6 to 6.5. (1356, 1756 and 1911).

That once-in-200-years magnitude 6.5 earthquake is 400x less intense than the 2011 Japan earthquake. And yes, without a sea there is no tsunami risk.

Really? I would think they'd be incredibly destructive, if they ground liquified...
