EARTHQUAKE Hits UK-Frightening Tremor Rocks Homes
3.8 Mag EARTHQUAKE Hits UK
Shropshire Earthquake: Frightening Tremor Rocks Homes From Side to Side
Thuds and Shudders Felt in 3.8 Magnitude Tremor
BBC News 30 MAY 2022.
Wem in Shropshire was the epicentre of the earthquake
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the tremor happened at a depth of 8km (5 miles), near Wem in the north of the county.
Residents of nearby towns and villages including Shrewsbury, Telford, and High Ercall, contacted the BBC with reports of their homes shaking.
One resident said her legs "turned to jelly" as she felt her bedroom floor shuddering beneath her.
Fire crews in Market Drayton said they also felt the tremor and urged people not to call emergency services unless someone was in danger.
BGS records said the tremor began shortly after 14:30 BST, with the epicentre just south of Market Drayton between the villages of Stanton upon Hine Heath, Weston-under-Redcastle and Hodnet.
Julie Williams lives in Wem and was upstairs when the earthquake hit. She said: "All I heard a thud and a shudder through the bedroom floor."
"I knew straight away what it was, I was just like, get downstairs and get out.
"It shocked me," she said. "My legs went to jelly."
