Did the Earth move for you?

I think we just had an earthquake!

Just before 1am, the whole of my house lifted up, and shook for about ten seconds.

I've never felt anything else like it in the UK.

Anyone else experience it?

I remember an earth tremor in the early seventies.

This was much more severe.

I thought there had been an accident, and my house was about to fall down.

Could be after shocks from the terrible earthquakes they're having in Indonesia.

We're all doomed....doomed I tell you.

If the epicentre was near Hull, I'm glad I wasn't there, it was frightening enough here.

I hope Cyfr's rock plants are alright.

My lad felt it as did Joyce. I didn't but I went sick and had a lot of pressure in the head. but that could be the wine.

Thanks for that link.

I filled in the questionaire, telling them my wardrobe doors flew open, and the bed lifted off the floor.

garinda · 27-02-2008, 01:57

I wonder if any couples were being 'intimate' at that very moment?

Give them something to chat about afterwards, whilst they have their cigarette.

Yeh, you wish.

Went on for longer than ten seconds here n was quite bad, epicentre is louth apparently. There's been some damage.

At least my third, knew what it was straight away. I felt the 5 one from yam yam land, that did severe damage if i remember rightly some houses had to be knocked down.
