BBC Earthquake Report
BBC reports earthquake
Keith Reed (left), Neath historian, reminds us of the tsunami that took place in this area in 1607 and the great storm circa 1865 followed by another earthquake in the Swansea area in 1878, which was felt as far away as London. With the past in mind, Keith questions the wisdom of building the university complex (currently under construction) in Jersey Marine.
The undersea earthquake, just announced, and the past record of events, could be a serious cause of concern for the future.
