Re: Earthquake

We felt the tremors way up here in the Middlesbrough area (Stockton-on-Tees) at the same time (just before 1am).
It shook beds and a few things creaked and groaned slightly but no damage known as yet. This happened twice, approx 3 seconds each and approx 5 few seconds apart. Not violent but enough to wake up a light to moderate sleeper.
I was already awake in bed but it woke up others in the house (except the 5 year old who sleeps so deeply that the littke tike has now proved that she can in fact, as the saying goes, sleep though an earthquake! )

I've never felt one before and it was hard to describe but it sort of felt like a truck had crashed into a house very nearby, with all the vibrations but without any associated noise.
