...Channel Islands

Quote
An earthquake of about 4.6 magnitude has shaken the Channel Islands.

Tony Pallot, from the Jersey Met Office, said the epicentre was probably about five miles to the west of Jersey but it was felt across the islands.

He said it was likely to be the largest earthquake in the area for about 50 to 100 years.

BBC Radio Jersey presenter Sara Palmer said she could feel the ground under her feet shake while she was on air.

She happened to be playing Status Quo's song Rocking All Over the World as the earthquake hit.
