You know I had a dream a last week about an earthquake, in the dream there seemed to be some significance to the number 5. In the thread I started someone said the number 5 can represent "travel", as it happens I am planning a trip to devon. With this new quake and mini-tsunami (plus the dream) I might cancel my trip.

The British Geological Survey said that first readings showed that the earthquake had measured between 2.5 and three on the Richter scale. Reports said it was felt throughout the Greater Manchester area. Assistant seismologist Julian Bukits said: "That is a fairly large earthquake for the UK, although we would not expect damage to have been caused." He said the tremor was not comparable to that which shook the West Midlands last month, and which measured 4.8 on the scale.

une 24, 2011 – ENGLAND – An earthquake has been reported in Devon that reached a magnitude 2.7. The epicenter of the quake, which struck at 1445 BST, was near Bovey Tracey, the British Geological Society (BGS) said. Police said there had been no reports of injuries but some people said their properties shook. The BGS said it was an “unusual occurrence“, with approximately 10-12 quakes of this magnitude felt in the UK per year. Radio Devon Listeners said they felt the tremors in Okehampton, Bridford and at Moretonhampstead. Pat Fleming, from Poundsgate near Ashburton, felt the quake and said: “Huge shakes went right through our granite house. We thought that something had exploded.” The last earthquake of a similar magnitude in Devon centred on Dartmoor in 1995, the society said. –BBC
