Small earthquake in Somerset Sunday 18th Feb

Don't know how close this is to Mendip but the info is on here:

On the Somerset levels approx 20ml by road, SW of Priddy

Ooops. Not us at the mine I hope.

It's all peat bog around there

Indeed - but not underneath the peat where the earthquake occurred.

What's the solid geology like there? It's off my patch, other than having enjoyed admiring cloud inversions over the Somerset Levels on many occasions from on Mendip. It's fantastic when Glastonbury Tor is sticking up above the clag.
