Village in Lancashire it has happened again with the second “radiator rattling” earthquake in less than two weeks.
Residents of Silverdale, a small coastal village five miles south of the Cumbria border, reported shaking and shaking in their homes at 5.03am when the 2.5-magnitude earthquake hit the area with its epicenter 1.6 miles (2.6km) from the coast.
The village and surrounding areas were previously hit by a magnitude 3.3 earthquake on 3 December, which was the strongest earthquake in England since another 3.3 event in Staffordshire in 2023. There were no reports of injuries or property damage.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the latest earthquake was an earthquake that occurred at the beginning of the month and it is “not unusual” for such earthquakes to occur weeks or months after major earthquakes.
People in the Morecambe Bay area have described the earthquake in different ways, with some saying it was “a quick shake” and that it “made a thunderous sound”, and others wrote that it “caused a loud noise” and there was a “loud noise and the bedroom window shook” and “radiators and pictures were shaken”.
One netizen wrote: “Woke me up. It sounded like a small noise in the distance, like it happened in a few streets.
Earthquakes in Britain are rarer than most parts of the world, and of the 200 to 300 that occur in the country each year, only 10% are strong enough to be felt or seen without special equipment.
