Greater Manchester has been hit by a series of 13 earthquakes and aftershocks, the latest measuring 2.5 on the Richter scale.
The most recent tremor hit the city at about 1326 BST on Tuesday.

Julian Bukits, a seismologist from the British Geological Survey (BGS), told BBC News Online: "We are analysing the data to find out the magnitude, but from what witnesses are saying it was a significant event - perhaps as strong as the first one on Monday."

It follows the four tremors which hit the city on Monday, one of which measured 3.9 on the Richter scale.

They were followed by another series which began at about 0440 BST on Tuesday.


I felt the monday events, twice. First time in the morning at home...there was a loud bang & the house shook. Felt like a truck had driven into it or something, quite alarming. Then later on in the day another one when I was in the city centre.

Don't recall feeling the tuesday ones however.

The news article doesn't mention that the epicentre was directly under Beswick, an area just a mile or so away from where I live.

I would carry a long piece of rope and grappling hock with you at all times, and tie yourself down when you go to sleep at night, make sure you tie off on something good and solid. :couch:

I remember a couple in Liverpool a couple of years back. I thought I was having some kind of episode, I thought it was some new and terrible illness of some sort :emb: When my mum and bro felt it, I breathed a sigh of relief "it was just an earthquake!" :woo:

It was the sound of it that struck me too.
but I remember it more like thunder that kept building up, it was only after the shocks started I figured out it was an earthquake.
