Parts of Britain have been struck by the country's biggest earthquake for 10 years.
The British Geological Survey said the tremor had a 4.4 magnitude, with a depth of 7.4km, and the epicentre was about 20km north of Swansea.
The quake happened just after 2.30pm on Saturday. A spokesperson told Sky News it was "reasonably-sized" and that the effects had been felt as far afield as Devon and Birmingham. "This is the largest earthquake in mainland UK since the 5.2 magnitude Market Rasen earthquake in 2008," he said.

Isn't it obvious? It's the Olympics.
Specifically, Curling.
Seizing on the fleeting demand for Welsh granite for curling stones has rushed dynamiting in the quarries...

What the heck? Is the big one coming to the USA? God must be good and angry with the massive waste of human lives in the so-called “civilized” nations.

Ya know, the a few years ago, the Canadians bought a couple of used subs from the Brits.
The subs leaked. I figured they could always freeze the water for hockey games, but if the Russians can have swimming pools and saunas in their subs, the Canadian could have a curling setup.
