Rather than leave it to me and you to interpret. And their interpretation is that only 1-2% was a consequence of fracking. You could still argue that it's 1-2% more than would occur naturally. Like I've said - I've got reservations around fracking - but earthquakes in Blackpool isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Just for comparison, what score was that earthquake about 10-15 years ago we felt here? I remember my desk shaking a little bit at work. Terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All leccy went off and a large piece of glass roof panel dropped out, fell around 30 feet and narrowly missed a student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 My friend lives in Deal and there was a 4.3 in 2007. She said it woke her up - but actually thought it was a large truck passing by her house. It wasn't till she got to work and switched on the radio she learned it was an earthquake. Also had a friend who was in Lombok for two of the earthquakes recently. She described racing away from the coast on a moped with the tsunami warnings wailing as the most terrifying moment of her life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The ex-Mrs Manc used to live in Lytham. She met a not-quite-so-swampy-anti-fracking character about a year go Recently bought a house with him. Both my daughters moved in with them as they got jobs on the Fylde Coast Ex-Mrs and him bought the house about a mile and a half from Cuadrilla's site Why? Why the fuck why? You're anti-fracking and you get a "bargain" near their site. Fuck me. If I ever doubted why me and her split up.......... Have to admit though, I do worry about the daughters!!!

Means that instead of creating damage, it made things better. Bit like when a few years back Forest and Leicester fans met up for a barny here in Loughborough at the Jack O'Lantern near the station, and the end result was £5k worth of improvements to that shit hole. It's shut now though, thank God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's measured on a logarithmic scale so A 2mm amplitude on a seismic scale is magnitude 1. 0.2mm amplitude is magnitude 0. 0.02mm amplitude is magnitude - 1. And so on.......

Site Supporter Spider Posted October 27, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2018 So basically, there are bigger earthquakes in Cornwall most weeks? what a fucking waste of time. just another excuse for bored hippies to be offended by something and avoid doing proper work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Decent debate on radio 2 this morning about it all. some dude from bolton that lived in lytham had to repoint his house.

An area that's never had any earthquakes suddenly has 19 when fracking starts. They might be tiny and hopefully they stay that way but are we not fecking about with something that we don't fully understand where the long term consequences are unknown?
