Years ago our homes and offices literally 'rocked' in an earthquake swarm.

Today I can still see the ripples from south to north in my house external brick-rendering in certain lights. At the time it wasn't funny - the cats went mad and had to be carried outside, at work the office on the top floor was rocking from side to side when we all looked at each other and went WTF!!! The folk in the CS Tower were really scared.
So - another fault is loosening. As long as we get guidance that will be fine.
When I was small, my grandma's neighbours chimney was shaken down in Carlisle! Earthquakes are tolerable mostly - but in those violently shaking areas I really pray the people keep safe, and have enough warning.
