Shock, horror, and pictures falling off the wall.

Earthquake shakes parts of Kent
An earthquake with a magnitude of at least 4.3 has shaken parts of Kent, damaging buildings and disrupting electricity supplies.

A married couple were reported saying - "Wow the earth moved for us."

I know we have lots of very minor ones but for us this one is big stuff.

mmm, not the first one in the UK. Birningham got shook up in the 90s and there was another in the 70s.
4.3 is big tho.

Is it really? The only earthquake I ever was in was in Hungary, and it was in the scale of 5. Might not have been in the epicentre, but it didn't feel that much of a deal.

And you must realize that the Richter scala is logarithmic. 5 is ten times stronger than 4.

Yer, Yer, I know.
I meant it is big for England. We get hundreds of quakes below 3, occasionally farmers feel feel them.

Below 3? I guess thats like those we get every week, when they blow up some **** in the quarry nearby.

Yer, people do report quarry events as earthquakes.

3 on the richter scale feels somewhat like standing on a platform whilst a fast train passes.

Obviously he is guilty. There is no other incentive for him to feign ignorance.

Slept through it... yeah, right.

serious Earthquakes in the UK are a rarity as we are not on a tectonic plate boundary.
