Kent police were bombarded with calls but confirmed that there was no injuries or structural damages.

A woman named Theresa Foord from Eastry, near Sandwich said "I heard this massive castle and then the whole house started to shake".

Vikki Petts tweeted "So we just had a 4.3 magnitude earthquake in Kent and my room mate slept through the entire thing. Certainly woke me up!"
