I just survived.....

[cib]

an Earthquake  :shock:

I think  :?  Just sat here doing some Uni work, and heard a rumbling, thought it was a truck driving past, then someone trying to get in and then the whole room shook. Housemate who was still felt it too...i do geography as well, its all a dream i tell thee

[yeo]

I was sat in my office and it wobbled

People are reporting an Earthquakes all over the country on the radio though  :shock:  

[Simon Pieman]

Haha I've logged on for this. Everyone in my house just gone to bed and snoozed through it. I was sat on my bed and I thought I was going mad.

Crazy  

[cib]

I've been doing work all day and went straight to the Oldham game, didn't realise there were tremors in Kent until after this quake. The entire house shook.

It is indeed crazy, and cool

[Simon Pieman]

If I was half asleep I would have probably freaked out a bit more.

I half wondered if someone was having a go at the patio door when I heard a shaking noise, then my bed started moving haha.

I think I will go to bed in a minute once I get my excited kid phase out of the way  

[Batch]

Fuck me, I've just wandered dowstairs in the nuddy checking all over as I thought the house was falling down!

The bed was shaking like someone was furiously masturbating in a caravan. Apparently.

Swindon, twinned with LA!

[cib]

Yeah i'm all excited, felt one before a couple years back (Dudley tremor), but this was crazy. I thought someone was having a go at the door.

Sleeping's for wimps, miss out on all the fun too  

[yeo]

I like that people get woken up by an Earthquake and log onto TEF to check it wasnt just them

[Simon Pieman]

Yeah I hadn't gone to sleep which was good otherwise I would have slept through it

I didn't realise the magnitude of the event, until you all logged on (and mates texting me, but thats not the TEF)

[yeo]

4.7 on the richter scale \ /

BBC is too slow. The TEF is where it's at.

Siezemograph measured it at 4.7, 30 miled from Hull, somewhere near cleethorpes. Pretty impressive we all felt it from Ooop North Yorkshire to Summerset

[Simon Pieman]

Right folks I'm no longer shook up  :|

Well off to bed now. Sweet dreams all

Siezemograph measured it at 4.7, 30 miles off the Hull coast. Pretty impressive we all felt it from Ooop North Yorkshire to Summerset
