They can be spooky, fun things as we don't get them too serious here in the UK.

The Red Rock Fault and the North Staffs coalfield are responsible for a few where I live. There used to be quite a few years ago, in the 80's and 90's. Not so many now. Don't know why.

I remember one, quite a severe one by normal standards .... the bathroom cabinet mirrors rattled and albeit minor, the ground did actually move and the house creaked.
I looked out of the window , it was dark nighttime, about 2 am, and saw two foxes trotting side by side together along the roads grass verge.

I remember one here a few years ago, I think it must have been the 80's because my daughter was still at home, our bedroom unit shook in the middle of the night,,,it was scary...especially at night

The final split from France perhaps?

Go for it!

I spent most of my childhood in California, which was likewise geologically determined to break off from the rest of the country.

Now I'm sure that the rest of the country wishes that had happened.

Re: earthquake

It appears to have been a false alarm according to this report....

Re: earthquake

Small quakes (tremors) occur fairly frequently all over the earth and Sussex is not an exception. Very occasionally if all is quiet, a tremor can just about be felt and is nothing to be alarmed about. When the light fittings start to rattle, that is the time to become concerned
