Small earthquake hits Manchester - or was it Rihanna?

Did you feel it?

Published 30th Jun 2016

The ground shook in Manchester last night, but was it an earthquake or Rihanna?

A small earthquake was detected shortly before 10pm last night in the Cheetham Hill area of the city, however, with a magnitude of just 1.4 on the Richter scale it was barely felt by residents in Manchester.

When reports of the earthquake surfaced this morning some speculated it could have actually been Rihanna's concert!

The 'Unapologetic' singer brought her Anti World Tour to Manchester for an open air gig at Old Trafford cricket club, but some residents weren't happy when it could be heard from 10 miles away late into the night.

Despite the coincidence with Rihanna's gig, the British Geological Survey have confirmed there was a small earthquake in Manchester last night.

And it was at least felt by one person on Twitter.
