East Midlands Earthquake

I was asleep, having gone to bed about an hour earlier, but my daughter was awake and felt it.

Re: East Midlands Earthquake

It's weird that we can get earth tremors in this country without being anywhere near a fault line. I remember back in 1990, I think it was, and I was banging away happily at a programming problem, on the fifth floor of Bolton Institute, never giving a moment's thought to such absurd notions as earth tremors in the UK.

I'm still not sure about this, because it felt so surreal I'm not sure what happened...but for just a moment it felt as if the entire tower block shifted slightly.

Mind you, it could be worse; consider Japan...no less than four continental plates meet directly under it. If the early colonists thirty-odd thousand years ago had had seismometers and the scientific knowledge to use them and correctly interpret the results, I doubt Japan would ever have been settled!

Apparently, it's caused £20,000,000 worth of improvements.
