Homenews

We must rebuild.

At 2:30pm on Saturday afternoon, Wales and the west of England were hit by an earthquake, reported to have reached 4.7 on the richter scale. It's extremely rare that the British Isles are hit by an earthquake and when one does hit, it's never strong enough to cause much damage *touch wood*. That doesn't stop people from reacting as if it's the start of the apocalypse, though. Just like when an inch of snow hits London and suddenly we've all forgotten how to walk, the good people of England and Wales reacted to this earthquake in the most British way imaginable. Luckily this guy caught the moment on camera, showing us just how powerful the tremor was. https://twitter.com/JackSamStrange/status/964874169010794497 https://twitter.com/SweetlyShan/status/964873740386492418 https://twitter.com/ParkerJordanlee/status/964878986638774273 https://twitter.com/Drewwade/status/964877652145377280 https://twitter.com/djh3max/status/964878780731940864 https://twitter.com/SmnLlyd5/status/964886991157563393 Thankfully, no-one died during the quake. But as you can see, it will take a long time to recover from such a traumatising.
