Not much to see really from the pictures being shown on BBC News 24 and Sky News, just a few chimney pots fallen over. The 5.3 seems to have come from Kent Fire Brigade, but now the British Geological Survey says it was a 4.3.

Yes, all sorts of speculation and half-facts as is usual when the media get over excited.
It seems the epicentre was under the English Channel off the coast of Dover. I've had a look at some French web sites, nothing about damage on their side. Perhaps there's more sense of proportion with them ?
'Helitele' has always been the term used by BBC Resources to describe that kind of gyroscope-mounted camera, to the best of my knowledge.
One pointless bit of VT that sticks with me is an old woman allowing a policeman to inspect her shed during the Soham murder inquiry, which Sky showed on a loop for what seemed like the best part of 6 hours..
Pfft - Sky News are covering it but BBC N24 are just carrying on with normal reporting.
Good! There are other events going on today you know...I'd rather have some choice, than hours of rolling speculation, and the same but different interviewees...they handled it well on Breakfast regularly updating us, but going through other news as well.
