Just before 1am GMT on Wednesday 27th Febuary an earthquake struck the UK.  In many comparisons it wasnt a big earthquake, but for Britain, the earthquake which was 5.2/3, was the biggest yet for 20+ years.

The epicentre was in a small town in Lincolnshire called Market Rasen but *apparently* the tremor was felt as far south as Plymouth and as far North as parts of Scotland….im a bit disbelieving in this, i live just north of Plymouth and i didnt feel a damn thing, not from the tremors or the aftershock.

So far one one injury has been reported and the damaged caused is little more then a few chimney tops fallen down and a damaged roof here and there.
