Moderate Earthquake Strikes England A moderate
earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2007, toppling chimneys
from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were
left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck
injuries. "It felt as if the whole house was being slid across
like a fun-fair ride," said the woman. The British Geological
Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake shuck at 8:19 a. m. and was centered under
the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the
Channel Tunnel. Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and
chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for
about 10 to 15 seconds. "I was lying in bed and it felt as if
someone had just got up from bed next to me," said Hendrick van Eck, 27, of
Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London. "I then heard the sound of
cracking, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It felt as if someone was at
the end of my bed hopping up and down. " There are thousands of
moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in
Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a
4.8-magnitude quake shuck the central England city of Birmingham.
The country’s strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931,
measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger
Masson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of
the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that
caused damage in London and was felt in France. Musson predicted that it was
only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England.
However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said,
as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a
forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This
would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the
minimum.
It can be inferred from the passage that England is rarely hit by high magnitude earthquakes.
