U.K. Rumbles with a 3.3 magnitude earthquake

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

Important Takeaways:

  • Earthquake rocks Staffordshire as homes in Stoke ‘rumble and shake’ and people hear ‘bang’ in 3.3-magnitude tremor
  • The British Geological Survey (BGS) confirmed the tremor, which had an epicenter 7.3km (4.5 miles) below the village of Tean.
  • It is the largest of 21 earthquakes to hit the UK in the last two months, comfortably beating two 1.8 magnitude tremors felt on the Isle of Mull in May.
  • It falls some way short of the record earthquake in the UK, which was a 6.1 magnitude tremor in the North Sea, about 75 miles north east of Great Yarmouth, on June 7, 1931.
  • Filey felt the strongest effects of that earthquake, with a church spire rotated, which was felt as far away as Surrey, Norway, Denmark and Germany.
  • The BGS says it detects and locates between 200 and 300 earthquakes in the UK each year.
  • Between 20 to 30 earthquakes annually are felt by people with the others only recorded by sensitive instruments.
