Felt Silverdale, Carnforth, Morecambe, Milnthorpe, Lancaster, Grange-over- Sands and several other towns and villages, mainly from around 15 km from the epicentre. Typical reports described, "it woke us up and felt like an explosion and the radiators and pictures rattled", "I was only alerted to it by the windows rattling", "it was as though a large wagon had passed, but the road outside was empty", "noise was like an impact, I thought it might be something falling against the house like a tree" and "sounded like some big item of furniture was knocked over next door".

Maps


Macroseismic

Macroseismic intensities (EMS) calculated in 5 km grid squares from 109 felt reports. A minimum of five observations are needed to calculate an intensity. If there are less than five then the value is given as "felt". "not felt" means that reports explicitly stating that nothing was felt have been received.
