Mild earthquake hits western England; no casualties

Western England has been shaken by a mild earthquake that doesn't appear to have caused any damage, British authorities said Sunday. Roger Musson of the British Geological Survey said the epicenter of Sunday's 3.6-magnitude quake was near the town of Worcester, 135 miles (215 kilometers) northwest of London. Speaking to Sky TV and the BBC Sunday, Musson said that England gets such mild earthquakes once or twice a year. In February, a 5.3-magnitude temblor hit Lincolnshire, 125 miles (200 kilometers) north of London.
