  1. Don’t we get like a few hundred a year? I ain’t gonna read that artical just the headline ofc.

  2. I was once rudely awoken by an earthquake once where I used to live in Folkestone. Don’t really recommend it haha. Then we had a second one a year later that was smaller but still very obvious. The first one did a fair bit of damage to homes.

    Turns out we have a massive fault line under the channel tunnel that’s actually dangerously big. Like if it went properly it would destroy a significant amount of the area of Folkestone and Dover.

  4. U.K. is not earthquake central. Look at other parts of the World. Mother Earth Crust is saying NO !

  6. It’s true because my wife said the earth moved for her last night. I never felt it, but I was away on business.

  8. I remember the earthquake in the midlands. The epicentre was around Dudley and made such a strange sound when it happened. It brought everyone out on the street.

  9. We also get the most tornadoes by land mass in the entire world.

    Quantity does not mean they’re getting more or less frequent or more or less severe.

    If everywhere in the world counted all of ‘earthquakes’ that made up this 50 in 3 months then this would happen all over the world. Tiny tremors are natural, happen every day. Nothing to worry about or make a news article about.

    This is from the Daily Star. The DAILY STAR!

  10. I’ve literally never experienced an earthquake because I keep sleeping through them lmao

  11. The UK apparently has the most tornados per square mile of any country.

    They are however, not Terribly destructive compared to the category 5s that rip through the US midwest

  12. Sometimes you know a “block account” when you see one

  13. We’ve been living in Rutland for 10 years and have lost count of the number of earth tremors we’ve had.

  16. Most of them Richter scale 1.0 or smaller. did a lot of these ‘epicenters’ happen to be at Quarries or MOD test ranges.
