Earthquake In Kent

[dunnitall]

Good morning, just wondering if any of the Abers in Kent felt the earthquake in the early hours and if so I trust they and their properties are okay?

Maybe I should move to Kent.
The earth hasn't moved for me in quite some time ;-)

[dunnitall]

Saw this on the morning news. Not sure why it was newsworthy. The UK does have small quakes from time to time.

We're about 6 mls North of Canterbury on the Coast and 18-20 mls West of Sandwich, wasn't aware of anything here. We've got a house in Sandwich(empty atm) which is being modernised so one of us will drive down later and have a look at it. But think we would have heard from the neighbours if anything was obviously wrong.

As the epicentre was on the coast it could have been caused by a boatload of illegal immgrants jumping ashore.

Cant believe this made the news, it was no more than a fart.

I see from the related question below , that there was a previous one in Kent in 2007 .

Has Kent got it's own San Andreas Fault ?

[Buenchico]

Actually, Bazile, the south-east of England is possibly the part of the UK least likely to suffer earthquake activity.

A friend of mine suggested it was all the UKIP members rushing to vote against the re-election of Nigel Farage as UKIP leader that caused it.
