"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A 3.3-magnitude earthquake sent tremors through homes across north-west England late on Wednesday night, the British Geological Survey (BGS) has confirmed. Striking shortly after 11.23 pm, the tremor was felt widely across Lancashire and the southern Lake District, impacting towns such as Kendal and Ulverston, all within 12 miles of its epicentre. Data indicates the seismic event originated just off the coast of Silverdale, Lancashire, at a depth of 1.86 miles."
"Residents reported to the BGS that it "felt like an underground explosion" and was "so powerful it shook the whole house". The Volcano Discovery website, which monitors global seismic activity, received more than 1,100 reports from individuals in the affected area, with most describing the shaking as "light" or "weak". While the BGS detects between 200 and 300 earthquakes in the UK annually, only a fraction typically 20 to 30 are strong enough to be felt by the public."

Some residents reported sensations like an underground explosion and shaking powerful enough to rattle houses. The British Geological Survey records 200–300 UK earthquakes annually, with only about 20–30 typically strong enough to be felt.
