To be honest, I only live up the road from Chodax, and I didn't feel a damn thing.
Anyway, it couldn't have been that bad. Neighbours house across the street, has a tone of loose tiles on the roof, if the earthquake had realy been a biggy, he'd have no roof.

People of Britain, grow a pair. When great landmarks are reduced to rubble, THEN we can say "My word that was something."

Shows the difference between solid brick houses and them stupid wood ones the yanks have. A 5.2 earthquake and the worst injury is a guy with a sore leg :)

What relevance has that got to do with anything,

it's a 'big' event because it doesnt happen often...

omg is the whisky ok???

Initial reports are shady at best, as the effected area extends over the whole Icefloat, but as there are no reports of casualties, the damages should be below minor levels.

The older groups may have suffered some minor "scratches", but no spilling has been reported either.

We get a few earthquakes every year, its nothing unusual. So you were paying attention this time, and it broke some masonary, big woop.

Chances are this is a good thing, after all this country is mounted on several million hexagon shafts. If we get some decent earthquakes is means the country is slowly being raised, prob a foot or two at a time. Given the whole 'water levels rising' theme we keep beng fed, this can only be a good thing. Sure we'll loose buildings and frighten the fuck out of the tourists, but we're british for fucks sake, show some backbone.

no.. in the context of this thread we get earthquakes similar to this (although this is the biggest) every 10 to 20 years

You again missed the point entirely
