An earthquake has rattled several towns and villages across Cornwall this morning. While the magnitude is not yet known, the seismic event struck at a depth of around 10km. Many local residents across the region reported their house shaking when the earthquake struck at around 6:38am.
Writing on VolcanoDiscovery, one resident at Helston posted: “Sounded like a large vehicle coming to the house and then the stone cottage shook for a few seconds then went away. Birds fell silent and then were noisy after.”
Another in Truro noted: “Dogs were restless, one jumped on the bed, then heard what sounded like a thud or the door closing on our grandmother clock.”
A third local claimed the earthquake sounded “like thunder”.
