Shake, Rattle and Roll

Filed under: Anglophilia

An earthquake hit the U.K., including London and as far as Wales, on Tuesday evening.

With a magnitude of 5.3, it was pretty darn big.

It is thought to be the UK's largest earthquake in the last 25 years.

Hope everyone's okay!

      It's experienced as just some shaking, no real damage. Shows how ignorant Americans can be about foreign events. Is Perez going to talk about starvation in Central Africa next?
