A 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Buckinghamshire area of England shortly before 10am Tuesday morning with residents taking to social media to report their houses rocking back and forth.
The British Geological Survey confirmed it was investigating multiple reports of an earthquake across southeast England.
The earthquake reportedly struck seven kilometers northwest of Slough near London at a depth of 10 kilometers.

Houses reportedly shook in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, London, Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and High Wycombe among other areas.
There are multiple reports of buildings shaking but no word on any injuries or structural damage yet. Some online even questioned whether it was a sonic boom or perhaps a meteorite strike.
Wow! Just felt a huge shockwave through my house and the walls shook. I’m in Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire. Sonic boom? Earthquake? Meteorite? #shockwave#sonicboom
Others were apparently more concerned with their furniture.
