I fully understand that and have watched quakes more many years also, But i just have this kinda gut feeling theres another big one on the way, All over the world quakes are happening and thats normal, But again its just that gut feeling,.. Some of these quakes have been slightly unusual be it depth or other factors,

the UK have quakes but not often felt, And though this was a light one many report that it shoot quite a bit for more than 20 seconds,

Interesting to watch,

The UK one last night was felt more and heard more probably because it was relatively shallow at c 14km.

From (recent) experience, the shallower the quake the louder it is, too..

I think what happens when there are large shakes, or unusual shakes, is that folk then start "watching" earthquake reporting sites and suddenly see all the (normal) action and start to worry that "something big" is going to happen when, in fact, something big happens a lot - it's just they haven't been watching before and only relied on the MSM to be informed. On average we should see a mag 7 once a month and 2 or 3 mag 6's each week. earthquake.usgs.gov...

It's also the case that we're a) reporting more events and b) building on more the of earth's crust - so not only are we seeing and hearing more on the news about quakes but more urban areas are being affected - which all adds to the eventual 'gut feeling' (which I've had many times before but now they're tempered by the great info on our Quake Watch thread )

Yep, l got a real gut feeling about this one too. ln the summer, for the first time, the government carried out earthquake drills, paid mostly by the EU. Do they know something we dont?

The British Geological Survey confirmed that an earthquake had occurred.

The organisation's seismology project leader, Dr Brian Baptie, told Sky News: "We believe the earthquake was centred in North Yorkshire, just west of Ripon, round about the Yorkshire Dales region."

He said the tremor measured 3.6.

Earlier the US Geological Survey told Sky News it was aware of an incident which it initially said measured 3.7 and which was 10km deep and happened at 9.03pm.

It said the earthquake may have been centred under the North Sea.

The tremor is the second to hit England in the space of a few weeks.
