Bombadil 102 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 There are actually hundreds of recorded earthquakes in U.K every year. Most are so minor nor worth mentioning. The big problem in recent years is from fracking and the foreseen consequences of it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bombadil 102 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 We had one down here in Cornwall a while back. Just a weird boom type sound. My lady’s from Italy so felt a few bone shakers in her time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm less than 10 miles away didn't hear or feel anything. The Richter Scale is a logscale, so 2.1 is very small. A quake of 3.1 is ten times more powerful and might be noticeable. The one in Fukushima was 7.4, which is 200,000 time more powerful!!!!! The UK has lucky geology. I'm still waiting for the Big One in California! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy Owl 1,751 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Man, I still get shivers thinking about the "Great Dudley Earthquake" in 2002 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2328911.stm Originally recorded as 4.8 on the Richter scale, but later 'upgraded' to 5.0. Interesting coincidence, that will be 18 years ago next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rachel Underhill 64 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Probably making more space underground at RAF Stanbridge. I remember when protesters were on the news at the gates of fracking somewhere up north and never did any lorries go in or out. I thought then they are building underground. Fracking was just a cover for vibration and booms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fracking was just a cover for vibration and booms. Interesting comment. I gather there have been 'problems' with the contractors who were supposed to be building on the old base... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
