Why is it strange OP. The UK gets earthquakes. What made this one different?

2012-10-09 12:48:09.6 50.47 N 4.71 E 378 mb 4.3 A ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM MSO

yes, they pop up every few days. usually 1mags

none around london though, lowest seismic area in the uk it would seem, unfortunately for me - a quake geek who would, just once, like to experience a (small and safe) quake at home. or anywhere for that matter. such is life

What the heck, where's that one posted?

i didnt spot that. hmmm

Do you remember the large (for the UK anyway) 'quake why had a few years ago?

There's was a woman in London on Sky News denying it never happened because she living in London never felt it.

not that i recall. ive never felt so much as a nudge (that i was aware of). wouldnt surprise me if she lived in london, it appears to be utterly free of any seismicity whatsoever

my MIL has felt 2, one which threw her out of bed, apparently. she lives in the midlands. i think they were 3's

i don't know, but your avatar. shill or not. i do not like cats but if I found one like that i would keep it. nice color and lines that one.

Very fracking strange.

You may not want to keep this cat......Its a zombie. Just in time for Halloween. lol
