Small earthquake felt in Cumbria

A small earthquake has hit Cumbria, scientists have confirmed.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the 2.1-magnitude quake struck in Patterdale at 21:37 GMT on Wednesday.

Beck Carter, a parish clerk in Rosthwaite, was at a council meeting at the time, when she said a "sound and vibration passed over very quickly".

She said: "There was a sound that I couldn't describe... then we all felt it, there was a sort of interesting vibration through your feet."

"It sounded like a freight train approaching if you were standing on a station... we all sort of sat there looking at each other going 'what was that?'," added Ms Carter.

She said at first she thought it could have been something heavy passing on the road or thunder.
