Earthquake (well tremor at least).

[sunjester]

Had everything in the house shaking a bit earlier this morning. Apparently it was a 3.3 mag tremor centred on Leighton Buzzard (10 miles away). According to the British Geological Survey website that's a bit bigger than usual, most seem to be in the 0.5 - 1.5 mag range around here.

I checked with Mad Lemmy and he's OK!

Glad all OK with you too.

Pleasing to hear that everyone was OK.

Cheers - Phil

Good to hear all ok

Once you start getting to 'significant' shakes the depth becomes a very significant factor

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Okay, someone explain the depth bit to me.
10k down, that's a tiny fraction of the crust, what happened down there today? Not sure we are even near an active fault (like the Stretton fault in Shropshire).
