Earthquake near Zeerijp caused ongoing distress

On November 14, 2025, an earthquake measuring 3.4 struck near Zeerijp in Groningen. Many people in the province reportedly slept little that night, and a year later some still experienced trauma. Eddie van Marum, then State Secretary for Groningen Recovery for the BBB, shared a diary entry about the day with RTV Noord.

One resident said they had gone to therapy and woke up whenever they heard a crack. The reported accounts describe the effects of the earthquake as still continuing a year later.
