Inhabitants of Lancashire have reported experiencing a second seismic event near Silverdale, occurring less than a day after a more powerful quake impacted the same vicinity. The British Geological Survey noted that this recent tremor registered a magnitude of 1.5 at 11:46 a.m. on September 22, originating at a depth of approximately 3 kilometers. The tremor was felt in both Silverdale and the nearby town of Milnthorpe. The day prior, a magnitude 2.7 earthquake was recorded at 8:38 a.m., experienced across northern Lancashire and sections of southern Cumbria. Experts indicate that shallow seismic events are often more perceptible near their epicenters, and continuous observations are essential for tracking local seismic trends.
