My house shook a bit and the stuff on my shelves was clattering about

Quote from Mazz4200 :

Yeah...old news, SamH posted this ages agook, so it was only 1 minute before you, but, yunno...

One minute is a long time on the t'internets, to be fair.

I did check O/T to see if anyone had posted about it - must've been writing my post while he posted.

Sam: Feel free to close this one / do magical thread-blending if you prefer.

Thats what that was! About 1am my computer desk shook a bit, I wondered what it was an thought I imagined it!

Damn you and your speedy thread-opening skillz.

I felt two, one after the other. Second was stronger and longer than the first but only 10-20 seconds or so. I'm on the second floor here and things were definitely shaking about, so maybe a 4?

We had one when I lived in Liverpool a few years back (2002?) and this was stronger than that. That one, I was living on the third floor of a building - the higher up you are, the more you shit yourself.

4.7 apparently, centered on Hull. I must have felt the big shake, here it was so minor all it did was shake my computer desk, I have a loft room so I am probably the only one in my street that noticed it. I actually looked out of my window, because last time I felt a shake like that someone had blown up the lab at Southampton uni.

Sky news is saying epicentre was 15 miles north of Lincoln and 4.7 on the richter scale

*snap*

hehe quicker than BBC news i wondered what that was :P

BBC News are crap, this is big stuff in our country and they don't even make it Breaking News. They put Breaking News up about something that happened last week, and if someone sneezes its breaking news, but a 4.7 earthquake in England and we get nothing!

BBC says 30 miles south of Hull, Sky says 15 miles north of Lincoln, pretty much the same place, but nobody wants to report that an earthquake was centered on Spital-In-The-Street.

UK EARTH TREMORS...I wish that line was UK, EARTH TREMORS.

EDIT: pfffft they said felt as far south as London, I am 2 hours souther!

I can just imagine the reaction of any Californians who stumble upon this thread.

Note for Californians: You sound just the same when you say "OMFG SNOW!"

4.7 isn't so bad. Anything above 5 or 6 and you really feel it And things start to fall over .

Haven't had a big one here in a long while, but quakes around 4 or 5 every now and then. There are always little ones, but we never feel them. Waiting for the big one
