Magnitude 2.6 quake shakes central England

Nottinghamshire in England was hit by an earthquake, experts have confirmed, as social media sites were flooded with reports of a tremor.

The earthquake, which had a magnitude of 2.6, struck about a kilometre from Hucknall around 7.17pm on Tuesday, according to the British Geological Survey.
Nottingham residents used Twitter to share their stories of the earthquake, which they described as feeling like a "big bang and sharp shaking".
Many residents thought their houses had been hit by a car, while a few thought their shaking beds were caused by pre-Halloween ghosts.
Kieran Jobling, 20, who lives in West Bridgford, said: "I was sat in my room and it suddenly shook to its foundations. I genuinely thought it was a poltergeist.
"I'm relieved it was an earthquake, I'd rather not have a haunted house so close to Halloween!"
Verity Cowley, who lives near Kirkby-in-Ashfield, tweeted: "NG17 here and I nearly wet myself. Felt like something had exploded in the house."
Chris @nottmdude wrote: "Thought a plane or car crashed into the house myself.
"Seriously nearly ran out the house thinking it was going to fall down.
"Around 7.15pm. Felt like something crashed into the house. I thought it was something flying over the house that caused the rumble."
Lee March wrote: "I'd just stood up and the ground shook. I thought a truck had come through the house."
