UK Hit With Second Earthquake In Two Weeks

The British Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 3.2, and added that these occur in the United Kingdom about once or twice a year.

One resident in Cockermouth, Martin Parlett, tweeted: "Having run outside in my pyjamas and wife's slip-ons like some sort of suburban superhero, thinking someone had crashed into the side of our house, in turns out Cumbria was in fact experiencing an quake".

An natural disaster took northern England by surprise this morning, leaving Britons to describe their homes being shaken by the surprise tremor.

It is the second quake to strike the United Kingdom in less than two weeks.

Its epicentre was in Mosser - a village on the edge of the famous Lake District park, but it was felt as far as Teeside in the north-east. The area is also now experiencing extreme weather conditions, with roads blocked due to snow.

People took to Twitter in reaction to the natural disaster. "The whole house rattled".
