    Just been checking for fracking sites in Lincolnshire, the nearest is Fox Covert, Fen Lane, South Carlton, Lincoln.

    Earthquakes are almost certain near fracking sites in the UK, because of our unique geology.

    A study by The British Geological Survey placed the epicentre for each quake in the UK about 500m away from the well sites, over the past few years.

    Epicentre was in the old market town of Oakham in Rutland, which is about 21 miles away from me and was still quite violent. Been getting several tremors and quakes here since 2001. The epicentre's of them is usually around the Rutland area, or Market Rasen.

    Last one was in April last year. I woke up just before 8AM on a Sunday morning, and there was this huge tremor that shock our house. It's epicentre was also in the Rutland area.
