Norfolk has been struck by a 3.7-magnitude earthquake just days after a tremor in Essex that 'sounded like a bomb'.
The earthquake is understood to have hit 56 miles off the coast in the North Sea at around 7.14am on Sunday, France's Military Applications Division said.
The tremor had a 'shallow' depth of ten kilometres, or just over six miles, meaning it was more likely to be felt by residents.
It took place around 38 miles from Sea Palling, 42 miles from Cromer and 45 miles from Great Yarmouth - and residents in each reported feeling the earthquake.
The British Geological Survey subsequently tweeted to confirm the seismic activity, as well as its location.

It comes after a 2.6-magnitude earthquake was registered in Chelmsford, soundlex Rating Essex, at around 5am on Thursday.
One resident had said they felt their entire property shaking, while a second added that their radiators were rattling.
Others described the tremor last week as 'sounding like a bomb' and 'like an underground going under our bungalow'.
One local told BBC Essex: 'Just after five this morning there was a very loud bang.
'It was very strange and my son shot out of bed as well, and we were both looking at one another going, "what was that?"
'I thought we were getting broken into... and there were a few other neighbours out in the street, so we all heard it.'

This morning's earthquake comes after an asteroid lit up the night sky over the English Channel after entering the Earth's atmosphere in the early hours.
The 3ft meteoroid created a shooting star and an 'airburst' that could be seen across southern England and Wales and in parts of northern France as far south as Paris.
The rock, called 2023 CX1, entered the atmosphere around two miles off the French coast at 3am, creating a fireball as it fell into small pieces that landed in the sea.
