Quake 5.3

[jacey]

They seem to have changed their minds. Last night's quake was 5.3 which makes it within .1 of the biggest quake on land we've had in the UK since records began.

The BBC site ways: The main 10-second quake, which struck at 0056 GMT at a depth of 15.4km (9.6 miles), was the biggest recorded example since one with a magnitude of 5.4 struck north Wales in 1984.

I remember the 1984 one very clearly but I didn't feel the latest one at all.
