Earthquake in the UK
Some of you may or may not have heard that we had an Earthquake here in the UK early this morning. The focus of the quake was about 15km underground and did not cause too much damage but it was a surreal experience for some who didn't even think the UK had quakes!!

From the BBC
Quote:
Householders are clearing up and assessing the damage in the aftermath of the biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years.


Insurance experts said claims for structural damage and broken belongings were set to run into tens of millions of pounds.

People across the UK reported feeling the tremor just before 0100 GMT.
The epicentre of the 5.2 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said it had received reports of people having felt the tremor from as far as Bangor in Northern Ireland, Haarlem in Holland, Plymouth and Edinburgh.

Scientists said while the tremor was small on a global scale, they described the earthquake as a "rare beast" and "significant" for the UK. They said they believed the earthquake could have been caused by an old fault line in the East Midlands rupturing. Read on here

Re: Earthquake in the UK
Never knew anything about it till I heard on the radio.

The one in April 1990 I remember I was a few feet up on a stack of chairs and they started to wobble, but that was only a 5.1.

Dudley, September 2002 was another big one at 5.0

we do get 200-300 quakes in Britain every year
