there was a earthquake at about 1 am it reached 5.2 on the ricter scale, and lasted for 10 seconds. it is the biggest one england has experienced in the last 25 years, but like you say the media do make things sound a lot worse than they really are.
but earth quakes are not caused by global warming messorus they are caused by the tectonic plates rubbing against each other and suddenly jumping causing the vibrations.

@ Messorus,

It can't be the global warming.. :p because earthquakes are about earth plates grinding at each other. ;) Or ground collapsing because the oil compagnies pump oil/gas and the holes collapse.

i live about 30 miles away from the epicentre of the quake and you do tend to wonder whats going on when your whole house shakes for about 10 seconds.
As for the news making a fuss about nothing,i don't agree,the news i saw was mainly just educating people on why they happen and what causes them.
Oh and also the bloke who's chimney fell through his roof and broke his pelvis might have wondered what all the fuss was about as well.

im not dismissing its affect on the local poeple, it was the local bullitins that i was refering too, with no explanation, good greif man i nor any of us here are that ignorant, im sure there's lots of damage cuased in some cases, and i certainly heard of no broken pelvis, or any other incurred injury, and that proves my point, which was the news "exaggerating" the whole affair....
