A second minor earthquake has occurred in the Lancaster and Morecambe District, just a day after the first.
Residents in Silverdale and Milnthorpe felt the tremor, which measured 1.5 magnitude scale when it hit at 12:46pm on Tuesday (September 22).
Reports described "a loud bang", something that "sounded like a small explosion" and "there was a rumble like something had fallen down upstairs.’’
The second tremor came after one also in Silverdale happened 8.38am on Monday morning, that measured at 2.7 magnitude, said the British Geological Survey, and follows a number of others earlier this year.
The Survey recorded a 0.9 earthquake at Silverdale on September 13.
They also said a 2.2 magnitude earthquake - at a depth of 3km - struck Silverdale at around 10.35pm on Saturday June 6.
There were two further smaller tremors recorded at 6.13pm on Sunday (June 7), at a 1.4 magnitude, and at 0.7 magnitude at 8:31pm.
There was also one on May 13 measuring 2.3 on the scale and another struck on April 12 at 0.4 magnitude.
The UK experiences around 100 earthquakes each year. A magnitude 4 earthquake occurs roughly every two years, while a magnitude 5 or above event happens every 10 to 20 years.
