    A jolt this morning for some Cantabrians

    A jolt this morning for some Cantabrians



    Nearly a thousand people have reported feeling a magnitude 4 earthquake just after 6.30am - 30 kilometres south of Oxford.

    Residents close to where the quake was centred say is was short and sharp.

    It wasn't felt everywhere though; some reported a still morning in West Melton.
