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?

Re: Did the Earth move for you?
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.

Re: Did the Earth move for 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.

Re: Did the Earth move for you?
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.

Re: Did the Earth move for you?
I wonder if any couples were being 'intimate' at that very moment?
Give them something to chat about afterwards, whilst they have their cigarette.

Re: Did the Earth move for you?
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.
