Several thousand people were left without power1 in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries. lt felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a funfair ride,3 said the woman. The British Geological Survey said the quake4 struck at 8:19 . and was centered under the English Channel5， about miles south of Dover6 and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel7. Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds. I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me. said Hendrick van Eck， 27，of Canterbury8 about 60 miles southeast of London.I then heard the sound of cracking， and it was getting heavier and felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down. There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year， but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2022 when a quake struck the central England city of Birmingham10. The country39。s strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931， measuring on the Richter scale11. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest erthquakes ever to strike Britain， including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time13 before another earthquake struck this part of England. However， people should not be scared too much by this prediction，Musson said， as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthing quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum. 詞匯 : moderate /39。m?d?rit / adj. 中等的 magnitude /39。m230。gnitju:d/ n. 值，強度量 topple /‘t?pl/ v. 傾倒，震倒 rouse /ravz/ v. 喚醒 tremor /‘trem?
