英国星期三(2月27日)当地时间凌晨发生5.3级地震,这是当地近25年来最强烈的地震。
地震发生凌晨1时左右,从英格兰东北部的纽卡斯尔到西北部的曼彻斯特以及英格兰中部地区和位于英格兰南部的伦敦都有明显震感。
地震震中位于英格兰东部林肯郡的马克特拉森(Market Rasen)。
在林肯郡北部的南约克郡,一座建筑的烟囱受地震影响倒塌,造成一名老年男子腿部受伤。
英国地质调查局专家解释说,5级左右的地震可能给震中附近的建筑造成一定的破坏。
这位专家还透露,在英国大约每10至20年就会发生一次5级左右强度的地震。
这是自1984年威尔士发生5.4级地震以来英国发生的最强烈地震。而英国有记录以来最强烈的地震发生在1931年,强度为6.1级。

Last night, I had experienced the first earthquake in my life. I did feel the shaking moments and I knew very clearly that it was earthquake. But, my reaction towards the earthquake was extremely stupid and dangerous. This morning, when I think over it again, I think that I suppose to be dead if the earthquake was stronger. Thank god my house was strong enough and didn’t collapse in the earthquake. You know what I did?
It happened about 1 hour after I had gone to the bed. The earthquake did wake me up. At that moment, I was thinking this----> “Aiya, earthquake only mar…small matter, don’t care la, continue to sleep. Stupid earthquake, faster end, don’t kacau I sleep!” So, I was lying on my bed from the beginning till the end of the earthquake without the thought of running away!!! My luck is so good that I’m still alive! Amithaba....
