Typical, something interesting happens and I'm busy having a smoke listening to the numa numa song and don't notice

These uni halls must be earthquake proof as I seem to be the only person the the West Mids that didn't notice

If you did not notice that you must have something in between your rizla you should not have

The US Geographical Survey's website reported a quake of the magnitude of 4.7 and said the epicentre was 30 miles (50km) south of Kingston-upon-Hull.

Nothing interesting like that ever happens in the south...

Good job it wasn't during the day, otherwise I bet a load of xbox 360 games would have been ruined.. vibrations cause it to burn rings into the disks.

Yep, me too in Beccles (just down the road from Naaarwich)

Was happily watching TV then felt the tremor start, pause briefly then hit harder..

John W · Post by **John W** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:21 am

Epicentre was only 15mins up the road from me, quite a few chimney's fallen down around the area according to the radio this morning.

I don't mind admitting it scared the sh1t outta me, woke me up (which takes alot!) and I wondered wot the hell was going on, just don't expect something like that in this country.

mkandy · Post by **mkandy** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:29 am

Was watching the news, most of the damage is broken chimneys/garden walls. Imagine what the Americans must be thinking, it's the worst earthquake in 30 years for us, but it probably doesn't even bother people in the likes of California!

John W · Post by **John W** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:32 am

Too right, can't even imagine wot they must go through when a big one hits them!

bigboykarl · Post by **bigboykarl** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:51 am

i was in london but my next door but one and but twos chimneys fell off in barnsley

mine was okay though

steb9780 · Post by **steb9780** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 11:03 am

I didn't feel a thing here in Preston.

Maybe it was because I slept right through after a handful of Japanese beers and a bottle of wine.

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 11:25 am

i felt it! have to admit, i was half asleep, and i awoke with a bit of a start...

thought it was the cat jumping on the bed to get to the window, only to realise the cat wasnt in the room...

It came through here at 12:57.

It's absolutely pathetic the way people are going on about it "The blinds moved/the cupboard door rattled - I thought I was going to die!". Fair enough if your chimney falling in. But people going outside of their house to see if the roof had fallen in? Yeah, because you never hear something like that when you're in the building.

Dozens of calls to police, but no reports of injury? WTF were they phoning up for then?

Precisely, wtf was that about. I felt it, thought meh, and went back to sleep.
