Strongest earthquake yet in Surrey 3.42 this morning Archived Message Posted by Ian M on February 27, 2019, 3:03 pm Didn't wake me up, but then I'm a pretty sound sleeper! Plus I'm a bit further away from the newdigate area at the moment... http://drillordrop.com/2019/02/27/another-strongly-felt-earthquake-in-surrey/ 'Record-level earthquake in Newdigate, Surrey – calls for reopening of inquiry into links to oil industry The strongest earth tremor so far in the latest swarm in the Newdigate area of Surrey was felt across southern England early this morning. Residents said shaking of buildings and furniture woke them up. The effects were reported from London to the south coast. It has prompted a local campaign group to call for an investigation into the cause to be reopened and to look again at links with oil exploration at the Horse Hill wellsite near Horley. The tremor, at 3.42am, was initially thought to be 3.6ML on the local magnitude scale but recorded first by the British Geological Survey at 3.0ML and later 3.1ML. It has the same epicentre and approximate depth as previous seismic activity in the area. The magnitude exceeds the previously strongest event measured at 3.0ML on 5 July 2018. Two other small earthquakes in the area, measuring -0.5 and -0.6 were also recorded early this morning. Together they bring the total number of seismic events at Newdigate to 21.'
