Earthquake? Whut?

Yikes! An earthquake in England? Now that's unexpected. The articles I've read say nobody was injured, thankfully, and I hope nobody got too shaken up!

I've never experienced an earthquake - nor would I like to! - despite having lived in Japan for a while, there (though there were a bunch of funky rolls and breaks in the sidewalks all around town from a recent quake). I currently live pretty far from any faults, and any seismic activity we get around here is totally anthropocentric (oil and gas industries doing crazy drilling, yes). Anyone have any interesting earthquake-related stories to share?

Not really interesting, but it always surprises me how many we get in Tennessee. I mean, when you think of earthquakes, the Deep South isn't exactly the first place to pop into mind, but we definitely get our fair share.
