People felt their houses 'rumble and shake' as an earthquake parts of Staffordshire yesterday. The 3.3 magnitude quake hit the area on Wednesday (June 28) and could be felt across parts of Stoke-on-Trent and the wider county.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) confirmed the tremor, which had an epicentre 7.3km (4.5 miles) below the village of Tean.
The BGS said it had received reports from around the area on Wednesday night, mainly from within 20km (12.5 miles) of the epicentre, describing 'an initial rumbling, then a bang' with what 'felt more like a shunt, like something had hit something'.
Mark Begg, 30, told the PA news agency he was at home in Uttoxeter when he felt 'a very large shake'. Try MEN Premium for FREE by clicking here for no ads, fun puzzles and brilliant new features.
