I did. I was woken up at just before one o’clock by a loud roaring noise and the house shaking. Evidently it was a about 5.1 on the Richter Scale, with the epicentre In Market Rasen, which is about 25 miles from where we live.
I sure did. I was in bed just drifting off when the place started shaking, I almost shat myself and I’m pretty certain Eccles, the cat, did
Coming up next: parts two and three of the California Experience: Brush Fires and Mudslides.
I certainly felt it here. I too was just drifting off. Curiously, I felt it progress from East to West. Maybe I got a reflection from the hard rock underneath the airport?
Southampton. A pack of printer paper fell off a shelf - startled me a bit, but I thought nothing more of it.
Bolton,
nope slept like a baby.
According to BBC Ceefax it was the biggest to hit Merrie England in 25 years.
Obviously it avoided Bolton what with the place being the back of beyond and all that. 
Innit?
Tsunamis, we demand tsunamis
And hurricanes?
London; didn’t feel a thing. I was astonished when I opened this post; didn’t even know there had been an earthquake.
Manchester.
Didn’t feel a thing.
Farnborough, Hants. It woke me up. It seemed like a low frequency side-to-side sway.
having spoen to other locals, apparently it was felt here. I just sleep quite deeply it seems.
just because you’re startled awake when a passing mouse trips over a twig…
I was awake sitting up during it and felt nothing. There was a picture knocked over on its back in the kitchen that I blamed the cat for, that might have been something to do with it though.
The population of the East coast of Northern Ireland was supposed to have felt something, enough for the local radio stations to keep playing Carole King’s “I feel the earth move under my feet” a few times :rolleyes:
Edinburgh - nothing. A cat was going bonkers outside, though, at about the same time, so perhaps it felt something?
Worcester - house shook and things rattled for about 5 seconds. Bit startling but oddly I thought (in my half-asleep state) ‘oh, an earthquake’ then went to sleep. Cat was a bit concerned too!
Earthquake?I just thought it was my bitch responding to the L4L Luuurve machine honey.
I’m in Rutland (East Midlands) - I knew nothing about it.
Now the Great Storm of 1987 was different - I was in Hastings and lost loads of roof tiles, the town’s power wnet out and the streets were blocked by fallen trees…
