My aunt and uncle, who live in the village of Lissington which is but a stone’s throw from Market Rasen, the epicentre of last night’s earthquake (the UK’s largest for over 20 years), reported the following via SMS:

“They ran outside as the whole house shook & everything rattled & loud ‘roar’ like train. Still no damage.” Underground rumbling..crack in driveway opened and went back together again. Took 10 seconds. All across the fields the lights were on, the whole of Lincolnshire lit up!
