Thanks for the update is most interesting “in a bad way “, spend a lot of time around that area will keep an eye open if I notice anything different.! 5.4 on the richter after some Googling is entry level for serious ?? Happens in areas every 10 years or so it says ?

Good news!

The Richter Scale was superseded only 52 years ago.

Earthquake Measurements: Magnitude vs Intensity

How do earthquakes get measured, and what's the difference between earthquake magnitude and intensity? Visit CEA to find out!

I wonder how many people knew that.

There was a little bit on a Radio 4 prog the other day otherwise I wouldn't have had any idea things had moved on.

Was someone doing some aggressive "digging"??? 😉
