Err...student of geology here, firstly 5.2 isn't really very strong,
and it appears to have been on an old fault that got reactivated, as
rocks aren't really very flexible at the surface, and continental
margins don't run in neat straight lines, strain can penetrate a very
long way into continental interiors. For anything more detailed than
that, I would have to ask me lecturers, and the geophysics ones were
all rather busy yesterday (there were media types around filming the
seismograph and asking various questions of at least one geophysics
lecturer)

Besides, it's isostatic rebound caused by the ice receeding after the
most recent glaciation, so you weren't actually wrong.
