Re: Earthquake

I actually felt the quake as far south as northeast Hampshire. I probably wouldn't have felt it if I hadn't been lying down, it just felt like someone gently kicking the foot of my bed. I wondered at the time what it was, thinking "it can't be an earthquake or anything like that".

Re: Earthquake

Was half asleep on the sofa when it started to shake. First I thought the dog was having a big scratch. Sat up and the dog was no where near me. Missus come running down the stairs and asked if i had felt it. She thought it was ghosts shaking her bed :D

Put Life on Mars on for a bit then went to bed

Not unless climate change is going to affect the tectonic plates, it's not ;)

Re: Earthquake

Some more info available over at the British Geological Survey:

http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/rec...n_27022008.htm

They're also looking for peoples experiences and there is a questionnaire to fill in - if anyone is feeling helpful.

Agree on global warming having no impact although the quakes we have in this country are rarely even on a fault line, more often a movement in general mass.
