Last updated at 12:39 PM on 1st April 2011

    An earthquake of a size 2.2 magnitude rocked Blackpool in the early hours of this morning, causing houses to shake and cracks in the road to widen.
The small tremor hit the Fylde coast area at about 3.30am, and Lancashire Police received 'numerous' calls about properties shaking, a spokesman said.

The earthquake's force knocked over traffic lights, cracked a railway bridge and left some residents believing they were being broken into.

A Bispham resident called the police to report that his motorbike had toppled over while temporary traffic lights at Thornton Gate had fallen down.

A spokesman for Blackpool Police told the Blackpool Gazette: 'We started to get calls at around 3.35am.

'Some may have thought it was an April Fool prank, but staff here felt the building move.
'We had a number of calls from residents. A woman in Grange Park rang up as she had been woken and thought her house was being broken into.
