Has the earth shook for you?

I got some photos, but my IS cancelled it out :lol:


I slept through it, sort of. My wife woke me up with "What's that noise???" The wardrobe was shaking and banging, I didnt even open my eyes...lol

Why, on the ONE night I get an early night, I miss it?
 
Slept like a log in Essex. In a non-twisted way I would of liked to experience the quake.

I had just drifted off to sleep at about 12am..woke up a bit later with my heart beating like I had just been running..very odd feeling.
 
was bad here in blackpool, lol and as i said in the other thread girls all over the world would be looking at their boyfriends in a new light if they was in the throws of passion :P
 
Didn't feel anything here (but then I was sleeping). I'm just surprised how many people jumped onto TP straight after to see whats going on :thumbs:
 
We felt it in Bristol, the tiles on the front bay window rattled a bit and the airing cupbaord pipework rattled too...sounded like we had a bird stuck in the cupbard! SWMBO then woke up after the event poking me in the back panicing and telling me to "go look"....

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!

not used to the bed moving eh lmao ;)

and rich why do women always wake up men and tell them to "go look" is that so if there is a armed burgler we die and they live :P
 
Ok, I'll let y'all In on a little secret I caused the quakes.:D

(someone had to do It:p)
 
I thought it was just the heavy wind making my wall vibrate as I had left my window slightly open, my mum came in saying everything was shaking, I claimed it was the wind and went straight back to sleep.
 
Yep hit here ( MK) about 1am TBH I thought the dogs were running up and down the stairs
as they do occasionally at some God forsaken hour :D
then there was a little tremour about 5 minutes after, made the wardrode doors rattle slightly

"She who must be obeyed"
First time I have seen that on this forum:)
 
The quake woke me up, rattling all the roof tiles and the crockery in the kitchen.
Then the bloody car alarms from the two car dealerships over my garden fence kept me awake until the batteries went flat :razz:
 
I felt it, my bed was shaking backwards and forwards. But didn't think anything about it till the morning.

I was only semi concious and remember thinking if I opened my bedroom door would I find a vehicle parked in the house. We live at the bottom of quite a steep hill with a bend in front of us.

Went to loo then went back to sleep. Just put it down to being a very vivid dream, I have them a lot.

It was only my sister asking me this morning whether I'd felt anything and I thought ah so that's what it was.

Here in Spalding it woke me up me up. The other half slept through it.

My mum in Holbeach was awake and watched the walls and ceiling move around.
 
So no one admits to have been having sex at the time and thinking the earth had moved?? :D :lol:
 
Woke a few minutes before and the house shook greatly, wife woke to last remnants and most of the kids slept through it.
 
I was still up - half dozing in front of photoshop when I thought it was a group of kids kicking cans down the street - then the earth moved for me for the first time in years. The only problem being that I asked my wife if it woke her - she slept through - and had to admit how late it was before I came to bed! In north Norfolk my son's Irish Setter decided that the safest place was in bed with them.

Trust you Janice :D
But now you come to mention it.......... :lol:
 
I was awake and did not feel a thing, however reports are that they felt it in Maidstone, just a few miles from me
 
Felt it here in Stoke on Trent. Woke me up with the new wardrobe rattling around. Thought it was going to fall apart then thought oh that'll be an earthquake then. Slept through a bigger one in Canada in 2000 which was disappointing as it shook bits all over the floor in a hotel, nothing seems to have fallen off up here though which is good.
 
No not MFI, DIY!!!!! And it's a built in one
 
I slept through it. :D
 
Wot earthquake fast asleep for a change [got stinking cold]
 
Surreal! scared the hell out of me.:lol:
I'd gone to bed at about 12.30, my man was still up watching some documentary downstairs, I must have just got off to sleep when our massive, heavy superkingsize bed started shaking like a rollercoaster car. There was also this rumbling noise too.
I've read reports that people say it lasted about 10 seconds, well maybe it did at a distance from the epicentre but here it lasted as long as it took for me to wake up, wonder what was going on, freak out because I thought there'd been a disaster like Flixborough*, get out of bed, weave across the floor because it was shifting under my feet, reach the landing, scream for my partner, us both realise it was an earth tremor, then for me to say "the floor's still moving!"
A bit longer than 10 seconds methinks!

* Flixborough is just short distance from us, I remember Nypro blowing up...the rumble...the shaking...the rattling crockery and ornaments. The earth tremor was definitely more violent.
