Well, I guess it happens - just not all that often.

HMMmmm...
 

NIV Hebrews 12:25-26
 25.  See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?
 26.  At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."
 

NIV Revelation 11:13
   At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

While rare on a human timescale, damaging earthquakes in England are not unknown - there's a general ancient trend of crustal weakness extending NW from the Alps through Europe - there were a couple quite powerful quakes in Belgium and Holland in 1983 and 1992, with serious damage in the millions of dollars.

Per Wikipedia, fairly near to todays quake was the 1884 Colchester quake that seems to have been of similar magnitude to todays, and also near the 1580 Dover Straits quake which is apparently referenced in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

I see the apocalyptikooks are already posting Bible verse. Sigh.

When the Magna Carta was signed?

Never mind. ;-)
