Earthquake hits Manchester

By Duncan
Hooper and agencies

Last Updated: 8:34am BST 30/08/2007

Residents of Manchester were shaken in their beds
this morning as the sixth earthquake in a month hit the city.

British Geological Survey measured the tremor in the
city centre at 5.46am at 2.4 on the Richter scale.

A spokesman said: "Much of the reports were of
rumbling and faint shaking. Some people said their beds rattled and
moved. One person said a building creaked."

"An earthquake that size doesn't do damage," he
added

About nine earthquakes of a similar magnitude to
today's occur in Britain every year.
