Yes
It really shook my house on the east coast of yorkshire, proper earthquake.

Speaking to a friend in birmingham and he felt the tremours.

So it must be a quite a big one.
 
Yep, felt it here in Chester. Was just dropping off and all. Quite fun though :)
 
Wtf. I thought someone was shaking the wall or something, slight but disturbing.
 
It was very rough here near Boston.. I screamed for my hubby.. the curtains were swaying and everything... and it seemed to rumble on for ages!
 
Yep, woke me up in Nottingham, the cat has gone and hidden under the bed and won't come out, first quake I've felt in the UK (in fact first quake at all) very strange.
 
Scared the S*%t out of me. I thought the house was coming down. Everything creaked for about 20 seconds and then the house just shook.

Chris :eek:
 
Its did for me here in stoke- frightened me daft-id just dropped off to sleep,when everything shook, creaked and banged

A 'proper earthquake' is the result of tectonic movement along breach lines. Afaik there's no tectonic breach line within a 1,000 miles of the east Yorkshire coast. You possibly experienced the resonating tremors of some off-shore submerged landslide. Or of a collapsing subterranean cave system. In the last half century we've been busily emptying the earth's crust of oil and gas in that neck of the woods. Creating considerable collapsible voids. And sometimes they do.
 
Tremor in Rochdale,Lancs. thought i was moving house plot then
 
4.7 on the richter scale, epicentre about 10/15 miles north east of lincoln.

Centre of earthquake was Hull Humberside strength 4.7

who says you dont need image stabilising?
 
Pretty rough here in Norfolk, went outside after the tremor and heard birds singing and the moon looks very very spooky......
 
hmm yeagh I opened a window to look out and heard a bird singing.. i thought odd but really didnt think until I read that.... cant see the moon
 
I was up surfing at 12:57 and there was a Big Thud as if something hit the house, followed by a lot of rumbling and shaking for about 10 secs.

Sh@T myself!

First Tremor I've felt.... Last one in 2002 i was asleep through when my partner woke me up I just said to my partner "what you on about, you must've been dreaming!"
 
flet it here, thought someone had come in downstairs and slammed the door, but it just carried on :D
 
it's just been said it was a 5.3 rather than 4.7 now!! epicentre was grimsby
 
Was pretty intense here in Manchester, the whole house shook, felt so wierd.

You could really feel it, I was eating pizza in my living room with my housemate and just looked across to the fishtank we have, real rumbing of the water in it.

Crazy!
 
my bro lives down in manc, might have to give him a bell!
 
Didn't feel a thing in Berks.. was playing Team Fortress 2 before the Obama/Clinton debate when a bunch of people disconnected from the server and half the remaining players started going on about feeling an earthquake. :shrug:
 
We live about 20 miles away from the epicentre. House shuddered causing a couple of items to fall over. My initial thoughts were that one of the Refinery's nearby had gone up. :eek:
It scared the family a fair bit. I wasn't happy at all to have my sleep disturbed! :lol::lol::lol:
 
I woke up about a minute before it hit.... why? Probably a minor pre-tremor or summat.

Whole house shook quite impressive really, hopefully no one has been hurt.
 
Damn.

Slept through it.

b****r.

Why do I always miss things like this ..
 
Same here - no idea something had happened until this morning. :)
 
Hubby and I live about 2 hours drive from the epicentre (Grimsby according to the news), and we slept through the whole thing.
 
15 miles from the epicentre here according to the latest reports. I'd just fallen asleep when the house began moving, the bed was shaking like mad, when I got out of it and stood up the floor was still moving under my feet.:eek:
Quite an experience!
 
First time the earth moved for me in ages! :p

Odd really because just before it 'hit' I woke up really struggling to breathe, like really hyperventilating,
so I was in a panic anyway.
When the bed started to shake .. I thought the end was nigh ... it was like being in the blooming Exocist! :gag:
