Either we're getting more sensitive about earthquakes, or there are actually more of them then there use to be. In Slovenia there was a large Earthqake at the turn of the century (19th into 20th). Since then there were no real earthquakes until 1998. After that year there were three already that caused considerable damage and always in the same region (in alpine villages). It's a bit weird, but I guess the number of quakes is actually increasing.
