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!
 
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)
 
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.
