Highway10 1,072 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nottinghamshire in England was hit by an earthquake, experts have confirmed, as social media sites were flooded with reports of a tremor. The earthquake, which had a magnitude of 2.6, struck about a kilometre from Hucknall around 7.17pm on Tuesday, according to the British Geological Survey. Nottingham residents used Twitter to share their stories of the earthquake, which they described as feeling like a "big bang and sharp shaking". Many residents thought their houses had been hit by a car, while a few thought their shaking beds were caused by pre-Halloween ghosts. Kieran Jobling, 20, who lives in West Bridgford, said: "I was sat in my room and it suddenly shook to its foundations. I genuinely thought it was a poltergeist. "I'm relieved it was an earthquake, I'd rather not have a haunted house so close to Halloween!" https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/25373872/magnitude-2-6-quake-shakes-central-england/ have any of you been hit by the earthquake?
