Default Earthquake in my county (yes I do live in England) - 04-30-2007, 09:43 AM

Homes in Kent have been damaged by an earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale.

I was born & bred & live in Kent, the primary county of SE England where the Battle of Britain took place etc. Anyhoo apparently there was an earthquake on Saturday but I didn't feel anything. If I did feel a shudder at 820am I prolly thought it was one of the fat slags from the club the other day getting out of bed.

I know you yankee chaps get a few quakes, but I'm very surprised we got one here. I thought you had to be near a tectonic plate or something for that to happen? Like San Fransisco & Japan etc?

Heres some pix of the damage:

As you can see the damage actually didn't count for a damn thing. I think people are just shocked kus the last time there was an earthquake in England the knights fell off their horses.
