Earthquake!!!

[Tom]

Jesus. Anyone feel that just now?

Entire house wobbling like fuck, things falling over. Cat going mental.

That was bizarre.

 

[FozzySon]

I was just sat here playing the guitar, next minute my Dad starts screaming at me "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" He thought my telly fell off the stand in my bedroom, heh.

Spooky though, Chelgrian from the FH IRC channel showed me a link. GFZ Potsdam - Earthquake Bulletin sadly as I have explained, I am a thick bastard and it means nothing to me.

This was in, Liverpool btw.

 

[Gray]

Fuck i did

And im 30 miles away, the house shook for about 10 seconds, scared the living shit out of me. Ive never being involved in one of those before!

On BBC now!

/edit

Looks like one hit Kent too! While Manchester/Northwests one was about 2.5, Kent got hit by a 4.3

Weird

 

[Dukat]

Yep, I felt it, here in Norfolk. Wondered wtf it was, pretty bloody spooked for a moment there, whole house shook.

[Ormorof]

[Dukat]

Just seen the report on BBC news... 4.5 on the Richtererer scale, epicenter right by lincoln according to them.

 

[nath]

Yup, the earth moved for me too here in london.

 

[Jimmy]

hull sed to be the epicenter at 4.7 according to bbc

 

[Fweddy]

Didn't feel a thing here in Newcastle. I feel disappointed to have missed out.

 

[Wij]

Felt something in Brighouse too

 

[Jimmy]

[mank!]

noticed something in oxfordshire. i was in bed reading and thought that something had fallen over in the attic

 

[gohan]

i must have slept through it, or the earthquake didnt want to visit london area

 

[Jimmy]

u prob slept through it gohan ppl repoting on news saying they felt it in london

also claiming its a 5.2 now up from 4.7 just after it happened

 

[Ch3tan]

People report a lot of things, I was up and did not feel a thing in south london.

 

[Embattle]

Me neither....oh well.

 

[Milkshake]

Just assumed it was my girlfriend snoring and rolled over...

 

[Aada]

Felt it woke up looked out my window and went back to sleep.

End of story.


Seriously why is everyone making such a big deal about it? i could understand if it hit a 7.5 on the scale and houses were falling down.

 

[Sharma]

I was in a sodding lift at the time, was wondering why the doors were taking so long to open when I suddenly got bounced around inside the lift.

I was in a panic!

 

[Mabs]

just north of Leeds

 

[TdC]

[bob269]

Anyone blamed Global Warming yet?

 

[RandomBastard]

Well I got woken up by both the initial shock and after tremor but I didn't know it was an earthquake.

EMSC - European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre

Nice map of the epicenter if you click the maps button

 

[Furr]

I'm in Sussex, and there was nothing.... Booo

 

[Embattle]

Ofc everyone is, my farts do more damage....they also cause global warming.

 

[Sharma]

Anyone blamed Global Warming yet?

Ah, just wait till Al Gore hears about it.

He'll be raving on about it soon enough.

 

[dysfunction]

I slept through it. Not sure what the big deal is really. Just a few chimneys damaged...

 

[Dukat]
