^ Goodness, big and shallow! No wonder it was felt over a wide area. When I was a little kid, I was in an earthquake about 6.1 in magnitude and only 7 km deep. I've got no memory of it personally, but my poor mother thought the world was coming to an end.
I swear, you Victorians are having all the fun right now.

It is easy to go down into Hell;
Night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide;
But to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air –
There's the rub, the task.
