Re: Earthquake
A few alarms seem to have gone off.
It's more the feeling inside the house that got me worried. Felt and sounded like everything was going to crash to the ground.
Right, I better get some sleep. See you all later in the day

Re: Earthquake
Coventry - WOW, not want to experience that again. Chair shook and moved, then the phone started to ring. I thought the foundations had given in.
OMG - Imagine a 7 or 8 on the richter scale, make you think.

Re: Earthquake
Felt it here in Cambridge, around 1am.
Very odd 
I was sitting there playing COD4, & thought either that's a bloody realistic airstrike someone's launched at me, or there's a damn earthquake.
Heard this crazy shaking & then saw my damn TV start wobbling like mad, while the room shook.
No damage to anything AFAIK.

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.

Re: Earthquake
Felt it here in Hartlepool too, bed started shaking and wardrobes.
Was chattin on the laptop at the time and loads of people said they felt it, so I knew straight away what had happened and I wasnt going crazy haha
Had a peek out of the window and it stirred a few houses and had some lights come on but that was about it.
First time my beds moved like that in years!
