Earth Tremor Anyone?

[Alfie168]

We had a significant earth tremor at about 1am. Like 50 tanks going past the house for about 20 sec.

Epicentre was Market Rasen apparently, 4.5 on Richter Scale they say.

Anyone else have the earth move for them??

Listen Alfie mate. At 1 o'clock in the morning you could have 50 tanks run through my bedroom and I wouldn't hear them! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Yes here is the conversation:-

Me: "Can you feel that"

Wife: "I don't think I left the dishwasher on"

paused for a few seconds whilst gazing around the room.

Me: "It must be an earthquake"

We are south of Guildford so a long way from this event, but I was pleased to see the news this morning and I don't need to call out the dishwasher man!

Yep, we felt it here in Cambridge, stuff jiggling about for about 10 seconds.........

We had quite a big one in Belgium in the 90's
Me: ohmigod, the central heating boiler is about to blow up
Popeye : Don't be daft, it's an earthquake
Me : thats alright then (and went back to sleep)

Woke up by vibration at 1ish but by the time I had got out of bed it had stopped..... Sunny Lancs

 

[mainmarine]

the first one woke me at around 1, for the after shock a few seconds later, I was wide awake and the room was shaking from side to side.

I was 'on the job' at the time.


I claimed all the credit.

I wondered what started it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We had a phone call from inlaws this morning in Lincolnshire 12 miles from Market Rasen. They were seriously frightened by it but no obvious damage.

Woke me up in Burton-on-Trent. It's all down to global warming of course.

I was flat out - didnt feel a thing, but my mate up the road woke up because of it, shame really, never felt an earthquake before.
