But thankfully not here !
ps I certainly heard something but I really couldn't describe it other than a low rumbling noise . |
I definitely heard a noise, before everything atatred to move, it souded like a heavy wagon going past, I live on a cul de sac so I knew there couldn't have been a wagon going past.
The geographical fault line that passes through this area is the Craven Fault line. If you fo to Clapham (in the Yorkshire Dales), and walk up to Ingleborough Cave, you can actually see the fault line in the rocks. Apparently there are not many places in the world, whee fault lines are actaully visable.
