Must be the most exciting thing that's happened in Scarborough for years and most of the residents were unaware of it !

I had a puncture (or rather the car did) in Scarborough. That was quite exciting!

What about the 4.2 magnitude that hit Kent on May 22 2015 in the early hours. I remember it well.

There was a 5.2 magnitude MARKET RASEN,LINCS on 27th February 2008.

A decade would be 2008-2017? or 5 Jan 2007-4 Jan 2017?  Either way the Lincs quake is within range and 5.2 is > 3.9.

Even if a decade is defined as 2010-2019 the one in Kent was greater than the one near Scarborough.

Daily Mail living up to its reputation when reporting scientific stories!
