Billy Castell 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 When we say earthquake in this country, its a mild wobble that you might just feel. And not some city-ripping lunacy with added liquifraction. However, I can guess what angle Sky News would be adopting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43631 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 BBC News 24 just said it was felt from Barrow to Penrith, lasting over a minute. On the grand scale of things, a cheeky earth fart, but I'll bet folk in Keswick and Cockermouth wer thinking " here we go again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Only 3.6 according to the BGS A small earthquake has hit Cumbria and surrounding counties. People described hearing and feeling the earth moving for "well over a minute" just after 2300 GMT on Tuesday. The earthquake, which had a magnitude of 3.6, was felt in locations across Cumbria and in Lancashire, south-west Scotland, parts of Yorkshire, Northumberland and the Isle of Man. Police say there are no reports of injury or damage so far. The tremor was picked up by the US Geological Survey. People have contacted the BBC to say they felt the tremor in places including Barrow, Sellafield, Cockermouth, Windermere and Penrith. Cumbria Fire and Rescue service has also confirmed the quake. A spokesman said: "We have had no requests from members of the public. At the moment, we don't believe there is any structural damage." tho how you'd tell in Workington is beyond me................
