It could be felt as far away as Namsos, Pomerania (in present-day Poland), the Baltics, and Helsinki.

The seismograph in Uppsala, installed earlier that year as the first in Scandinavia, was shaken so violently that the pendulum jumped out of its socket, rendering the seismograph unable to measure the quake. However, it was recorded by seismographs in Dorpat (Tartu), Leipzig, Göttingen, Hamburg, and Edinburgh, among others. Many chimneys collapsed, minor landslides were triggered, and tsunamis occurred both on the Swedish west coast and in Lake Vänern and other lakes. In two locations, unsecured railway wagons were set in motion, though they did not cause any accidents.Sven Laufeld 15 January 2005 Skalvet 1904 Sveriges värsta på tusen år https://www.svd.se/a/e500aec6-dd5d-3f7b-9566-a17d6949a0fb/skalvet-1904-sveriges-varsta-pa-tusen-ar 19 April 2024 Svenska Dagbladet Norwegian See also List of earthquakes in 1904 Geology of Norway 2008 Skåne County earthquake References Category:1904 earthquakes Category:Natural disasters in Norway Category:Earthquakes in Europe Category:1904 in Norway Category:October 1904 in Europe
