Another earthquake rattled Groningen early Friday, jolting residents awake with a 2.8 magnitude tremor triggered by decades of gas extraction. Though not unprecedented — over 2,000 quakes have been recorded since the 1980s — this one stands out as the 200th of its strength or greater since March. People described loud bangs and house vibrations, echoing long-standing community trauma. Meanwhile, government efforts to shut down gas fields are paying off: seismic activity has dropped sharply from ~100 quakes yearly (2011–2019) to just 20 this year — offering cautious hope for a quieter future.
