Default Earthquake of 4.2 magnitude strikes Kent...
An earthquake of 4.2 magnitude has hit Kent, shaking buildings and waking up residents.


The tremor was recorded at a depth of 1.4 miles (2km) about three miles (5km) from the village of Ash in the east of the county shortly before 3am.

Simon Moores, who lives in Westgate close to Margate, told Sky News: "There was a sudden, violent jarring and shaking.

"Dogs started barking. It lasted for around 10 seconds.

"It was very disconcerting indeed."

Kent Police were inundated with calls about the incident.

The force tweeted: "We are aware of reports of tremors being felt by residents in East Kent & are monitoring the situation. No injuries have been reported."

Residents tweeted their reactions after being woken up by the quake.

Vikki Petts said: "So we just had a 4.3 magnitude earthquake in Kent and my housemates slept through the entire thing. certainly woke me up!"

Jonathan Tapp said: "Earthquake in East Kent and now can't get back to sleep.

"Despite months spent in NZ this is my first one that I've felt."

Iain Buchanan, of Ramsgate, said: "So I'm not going mental, my house shook due to an earthquake in Kent of all places. Thank god for 24 hrs news & social media to find out."

He added: "Lying in bed when the house suddenly shook.

"Thought something had collapsed outside, so got up to check.

"I've looked outside and all appears to be fine in the street. No damage that I can see. Will obviously see more later when it's lighter.

"Weird experience anyway."

The British Geological Survey tweeted: "Prelim data now online: earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/earthquakes/re... 4.2 magnitude earthquake nr Sandwich, Kent."



..#pray for Jake, he's in a shake....

...hope you're ok, everything is ok around you, Jake...
