Sorry but we dont get earthquakes - not scientifically possible - absolutly no fault lines anywhere near the UK! So why have we just had one? 4.6 on the 'ol Richter apparently - epicentre in Lincoln - probably the farthest away from any fault lines in the entire country!
Hmmm - I dont believe this story the media is sayin! All I know is my monitors n scope system was shakin big time (and I didnt even have any tunes playing at the time! Lol).
Cant offer any other explanation but im sayin something other than a natural earthquake happened!
Earthquake - Yorkshire - England

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we don't know we don't know.

Yes, Yorkshire was a huge place for coal mining, as was Stoke on Trent.
However the epicentre was in Lincolnshire & that hasn't a history of mining to my knowledge.
It wasn't mining related though. With mining style movement, you get rumbles for a week or 2 as things subside and then settle down again, as happened around here (Trentham) some years ago.
This was a genuine little quake that we have every few years.
Interestingly enough I started my working career down the coal mines.
Perhaps the mining in Saarland was cancelled on the back of earthquakes but was really a green political agenda. It was just easier to close the mines without disputes (???)

As far as I know, the saarland has a special ground structuure and it was proven, that the 4.0 earthquake happened, beacuse of the minin activities. However, you`re right with the reason, that mining in germany is not too lucrative those days.
But I doubt that has happened by a green agenda. The german tories do not fit in the green standards too much

Apologies to Zer
It wasn't Zweibrucken - it was a lovely little village called Blieskastel.
And we used to have German friends in the area who we would meet up with in Austria every summer for walking holidays. I think it was a village surrounded by lovely hills and woods - Rohrbach?
Anyway, got my facts right.

More apologies
I must have slept better than I thought as the eathquake did go through our area last night.
A friend has now told me of shaking wardrobes (no comment
) and 3 miles away from us some chimneys have fallen off a factory.
I hear also that it was felt in parts of Scotland and the South (London area)
So it was a good quake.
