Today at about 12.00 (in Europe at 6.00) a medium-sized earthquake shook northern China (and Beijing), but no injuries were immediately reported (and I am fine too). 

State television said the quake was a magnitude 5.1 and struck around noon in an area of populous Hebei province, which surrounds the capital Beijing.  The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 4.9 and said the epicenter was on the Beijing-Hebei border, about 55 miles south of the capital.

Here you can see the center of the quake, it lies at nearly the same spot as Beijing:

Unfortunately I couldnt barely feel it, but some of my colleagues, those who were in higher buildings, said that everything had severly shaken :D
