Kent quake: 'The whole house was shaking'

A 4.2 magnitude earthquake has been recorded in Kent, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has said.

The tremor originated near Sandwich at a depth of 15km (9.5 miles) underground at 02:52 BST, it reported.

Residents in other areas including Margate, Canterbury and Southend-on-Sea, Essex, reported feeling the earthquake.

BBC reporter Simon Jones was woken by the earthquake - saying his initial thought was "something had crashed into the house".
