UK hit by huge earthquake as ‘roaring noise’ heard while ‘bedroom walls shook’

The UK has been hit by a huge earthquake leaving bedroom walls “shaking”. From the Highlands to the Bristol Channel, several residents would have been in the middle of an earthquake without even realising it over the last few months.

Experts at the British Geological Society say that the UK has around 300 earthquakes a year that are picked up by advanced technology. However, only 30 are actually felt by residents. Adding to this, there are hundreds that happen a year that sometimes go unnoticed due to the need of extremely sensitive equipment.
