Reported in this morning's national newspaper that an earthquake of 2.2 magnitude hit an area 5.5 miles southeast of Blackburn at a depth of 4.3 miles at 2.33PM Saturday.This puts it near Oswaldtwistle Moor.Anyone feel the Earth move?
 
It will be one of MaggieR's mates fracking about, she'll be posting any time soon with a link to tell us we are all doomed.
 
2.3 does in greece.:confused:
I have noticed that low rate quake clusters do get reported, maybe because they sometimes are a prelude to one bigger.

Our Uk fault lines have a different cause
Ancient fault lines that crisscross crust beneath Britain | World news | The Guardian
"in Britain, earthquakes are driven by the enormous stresses inflicted by the shifting Eurasian plate in the Atlantic Ocean. This "continental drift" squeezes Britain from the north-west, building up stresses in the crust only relieved by slippage at fault lines. Earthquakes are more common in the west of Britain, with north-west Scotland, Wales, and the West Midlands the most active."

4.3 miles under Ossy ? Ossy is bad enough on the surface, so far down really would have been the pits :)
 
It was caused by the sound of thousands Rovers fans leaving the Riverside Stand in order to beat the traffic, 27mins before kick off.
 
Not Darwen Moor - that is were the tower is. It was near Hoddlesden moss. About 1.25 miles SE of Hoddlesden.
