An earthquake has struck Cornwall, described by one local as hitting their house “like a juggernaut”.

Residents in Helston, Penzance and Camborne were among those to report the quake, which struck shortly before 1am on Sunday in Mount’s Bay, close to The Lizard peninsula.

The epicentre was at a depth of 13km, with a magnitude of 2.7 on the Richter Scale, according to preliminary information, said the British Geological Survey (BGS).

A model used to gauge seismic intensity suggested the quake would cause nearby residents to feel swaying or light trembling, with the noticeable shaking of many objects.

I wonder how many times the "local resident" has had their house hit by a juggernaut? Fewer than they've had earthquakes I'd bet.
