Yeshe Chodom in Rutland said the earthquake felt like "a massive explosion"
An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 has been recorded in the East Midlands, the British Geological Survey has confirmed.
The epicentre was near the town of Oakham, in Rutland, at 22:25 GMT on Wednesday.
People reported feeling buildings shake and vibrations lasting as long as 10 seconds.
It comes after an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.9 was recorded in Hampshire on Tuesday.
The British Geological Survey (BGS), based in Edinburgh, said it had received 1,400 reports so far from people who felt the Oakham earthquake, including residents from as far away as Dudley and Huddersfield.
One person in Rutland told the survey it "sounded like a really large bomb had just gone off" and there was a "build up of rumbling and the house shook really violently".
Another said it was "like a loud explosion" and they looked for cracks in their house.
'Like Jurassic Park'Other people reported books moving on shelves, dogs growling uneasily and "significant vibration" lasting for about 10 seconds.
One person in Grantham, Lincolnshire, reported: "I could see rings in my glass of wine! A bit like in Jurassic Park when the T Rex chases the car!"
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew was among those who tweeted about the tremor, saying: "The earth just moved in the Vale. I mean seriously. Anyone else feel it?"
The tremor comes after two earthquakes were recorded near Oakham in April last year.
The first, on 17 April, 2014, measured 3.2 in magnitude, followed by a second tremor the following day, which measured 3.5 in magnitude.
On Tuesday, an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.9 was recorded in Hampshire.
The British Geological Survey reported a tremor at a depth of 3km (1.9 miles) at Headbourne Worthy, just north east of Winchester.
