🌍✨ Earthquake Rattles Parts of Scotland! 🚨🏴
Did you feel it? A 3.3 magnitude earthquake sent a shiver through Perth and Kinross in Scotland early Monday morning! Residents described hearing a “loud rumbling” and feeling their “doors vibrating.” Some even likened it to a large lorry crashing past their homes!
The quake hit around 7:25 am, with the epicentre in the scenic Glen Lyon region. It was felt by many in nearby areas like Aberfeldy, Killin, and Pitlochry. According to the British Geological Survey, while the UK experiences between 200 and 300 tremors each year, only a handful are strong enough to be noticed by those on the ground.
One local reported from their static caravan, saying it was like “a giant walking past.” Another was surprised to find their wardrobe doors shaking—like when a fast train whooshes by!
While these events are rare, they always remind us of the Earth’s incredible power. If you were in the vicinity and felt anything unusual, consider sharing your experience with the British Geological Survey. Every bit of data helps seismologists understand these natural occurrences better.
So, next time you feel the ground move, it might just be a reminder of the ever-moving world beneath our feet! Stay safe, and keep those felt reports coming! 🌍🔍
