Earthquake

Anyone feel the earthquake last night?  ;-)

Yes. Wardrobe doors rattling, bed shaking, lasting 3 to 5 seconds. The epicentre was in Lincoln, one man taken to hospital in Derby.

Actually, the house shook less than when 'that car' goes past with the loud speakers.

I didn't feel or hear a thing - slept the sleep of the just!I knew my Horlicks did it's stuff.  ;-)

Our the four of us in my pharmacy only one experienced it. A shaking bed. She was the only one awake.

I slept like a log and didn't hear thing.What time did it occur?

Wayne Bridges ● 6792d

No, the earth didn't move for me  ;)

Will it be in the Archers tonight?

Peter Wright ● 6792d

Archers? I thought I knew every pub in Ealing.Only joking!I was up at the time of the 'quake but didn't sense anything.Did any one hear the snippet on BBC news this morning about the male correspondents giving their experiences to them were often asleep on their sofas.Is this so they get a better night's sleep, they clap out after a hard day at work, or they have come home inebriated?The latter maybe why all new builds after 1999 have to have a ground floor lavatory.

My Wife was half asleep and it woke her, she thought it was going to be her lucky night, then saw it was me!

(Apparently seismic waves travel at about 2 - 3 MPH, so that would be about right).I was in bed and it was certainly a novel experience, about eight seconds of radial wobbling (moving no more than about two inches). I heard a low rumbling roar (almost like the static hiss you get on an untuned TV channel) - as well as a couple of creaks and cracks

"00:56 in Lincoln and (according to the usually entirely accurate Internet time clock on my laptop) 00:58 in London... (Apparently seismic waves travel at about 2 - 3 MPH, so that would be about right)."Either my gegraphy or your arithmetic is awry....or that speed is wrong.
