An earthquake, a rare event in England, rattled parts of the southeast, toppling chimneys and rousing residents from their beds.

Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County, and a woman suffered minor head and neck injuries, authorities said.

The British Geological Survey said the magnitude 4.3 quake was centered under the English Channel south of Dover, near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.
