The Earthquake
For any of you who now about it happening, you can talk about it in here.
It was in Market Raisin, with a Richter Scale of 5.3...
...and also it happened at about 12:55am

Re: The Earthquake
I slept right through it.
I woke up at about 6am, checked my mobile and saw someone text me saying "omg has there been an earthquake". Looked outside, everything seemed normal. Turned the TV on, and saw on the breaking news ticker that there was an "earthquake that hit Britain at a Richter scale reading of 6.2". Shitting myself!

Re: The Earthquake
Lol, I struggle to believe that so many people slept through it... It woke me up, I was half asleep and I wasn't sure what was happening. Then I realised, and it stopped...
Re: The Earthquake
Yes, I was dreaming away...

Re: The Earthquake
I thought it was all a dream so I decided to keep quiet until soewmone else verified it! Someone got up to the loo and must not have realised it woke them up. I never found out who it was though...
Does anyone know how long it lasted actually?

I'm at home, but I'm coming back in soon. Also will be making a trip to the bank. I assume you're in the English room?

Re: The Earthquake
I wasn't asking about Wikipedia on this topic, The Earthquake came while I was still awake. Sky News was the first to hear about it as BBC News was a bit slow. It was a rumble shaking my house as it was bad for the UK to have. People are certain that we will have an after effect which might be a very little shaking or just a little rumble noise.

Yes indeed.
It was really freaky, I guess thats because I've never experienced one before...
Re: The Earthquake
I have now experienced two earthquakes... one in 2002 and one now. Apparently this one was a little worse than the one which occured in 2002.
Re: The Earthquake
I didn't feel that, but they happen all the time, we just cant feel them they are that small.
Re: The Earthquake
Where was this one in 2002 Alan?

Re: The Earthquake
Well I was near Nottingham at the time so I think it was more worse down south but Withernsea must have got it a little bit.
Re: The Earthquake
yeah i fell asleep right after it, i couldnt be bothered to find out what it was and then my mum told me it was an earthquake later on in the morning lol
Re: The Earthquake
Lol. I think it was pretty interesting having an earthquake... And it gives ya something to talk about... I wonder if we will have any more in the future..? Or was it a complete one off..?
Re: The Earthquake
probabley will have others in the future as the continent move closer to one another, it is happening, just very slowly lol, so i expect there will be more in the future
Re: The Earthquake
I think that this subject is pretty old now to be honest, the earthquake was ages ago...
Re: The Earthquake
so when do you think the next earthquake will be then? lol

Re: The Earthquake
i was up drinking, so thats probably why i didnt feel it or hear it, although my friend said i fell over when it happened. What were you doing in a graveyard trying to get your head together for?
