Earthquake in Worthing!!

[Giraffe]

Anyone else just feel a small tremor?

 

[acrossthepond]

Nope, but then I'm 600 miles away....

 

[Walkers Cajun Squirrel]

no. I was woken at 5 this morning by what felt like a quake.

 

[Stoo82]

There was one in northen France.

Dose not say what time, but its in the last 24hrs. 2.8 is not that big, but you might have just been in the right place to feel alittle one. Look back in an hour or two to see if it updates.

i have just finished running for the last hour around shoreham beach and didnt feel a thing. On second thoughts im a fat bastard so maybe it was my running you could feel 5 miles down the coast.

 

[seagulls4ever]

Nope. Didn't feel anything.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Nothing here no.

This is a little bit like the princess and the pea. I am clearly the only princess in Worthing.

The big red star is the most recent event.

Not particularly helpful.

I just want to know if it is safe to take the saucepan off my head yet.

 

[borowha]

Yes you can. In Greece we have one about the size you are talking about, every day. We get a musive one about once a year and that can scare the living shit out of you. Once its over though, in a wierd kind of way, i want them back, i like them. Dont want anyone to die though. Luckly the earthquakes are so far underground that they do little damage. If they were any higher on a regular basis, Greece simply would not exsist.

The British Isles and much of Europe is situated on a Craton which is an area of relatively stable crust which is not under stress due to subduction or sea floor spreading.. in other words we are unlikely to have anything more than a tremor unless Johnny Vegas buys a trampoline.

So a tremor this morning was a possibility then.

Tremor, yes....... Earthquake (exclamation mark) unlikely.

I would imagine it's improved the look of the place no end
