A Quake-Catcher Network participant detected a magnitude 4.5 earthquake in SW Germany (http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/img/qcngermanym45.png), near the borders of France and Switzerland using his JoyWarrior USB sensor and QCN/BOINC.  This is a fairly rare event to capture on QCN and we thank him and others running QCN!  The participant's computer was only 10km from the epicentre.
