the epicantre was very close to selfoss and hveragerði but there seems to be contradiction putting the epicentre a little northest of selfoss then in the newspapers the epicentre is almost under hveragerði. i think we were spared a lot here because where i live (and thus ktspktsp and abaya) we are exactly on the other side or reykjavík and out on seltjarnarnes so i suspect the city would have dampened the vibration and i also suspect the peninsula (nes is the icelandic word for peninsula) would have had a dampning effect as well. by contrast my boss said at work which is 15 km south on the other side of the city nearly perfectly in the direction of selfoss they felt it quite strongly and it clearly disturbed several of the people i work with. the newspapers have several pictures of cracked roads and trashed houses in selfoss.
