I am moving up north...

Herts and Beds are nice, and you can be north of Watford :)
 
Funnily I didn't feel a thing and I live about 18 miles from the epicentre...I wonder what would have happened if it had happened under Dungeness....which I live only ten miles from....:eek:
 
We felt the one south of Birmingham a few years ago...Or when I say felt I actually meant heard, the sound of it coming towards us was just amazing...

Then again, maybe crofter was there and saw it happening :P
 
I think my house shakes more than that when a Tesco truck goes past.

Every little helps ;)
 
Nope, hadn't felt a thing - but then again, the epicentre was further away than the one we had at April '07. I sleep like a rock most nights, I even slept soundly through the Great Gale of '87 and overlaid thus was late for work because the power cut had rendered my mains powered alarm clock useless.
 
I never and still don't understand that 'mount a plate against a wall' decorative thing....What is wrong with a painting or a photograph...why a plate? Very strange....

Perhaps these people serve their meals on a painting.

Possibly, or enjoy a cake fight and then take the plate with the cake on it off the wall and eat it? It is a mystery to me...
 
I would have worried If I had been in the chunnel.
 
I was woken up by an earthquake in LA when I was about 15. It was a biggie out in the desert but just a gentle but obvious rocking in the hotel room. It was pretty cool to experience, obviously a different story if it was a full on earthquake with stuff flying all over the place.

I was sharing a family hotel room with my parents and sister. I think my sis and I were on a sofabed and I remember saying "can't believe mum just slept through an earthquake" and a little voice from under the covers saying "no I didn't"
 
Most of you won't remember the earthquake in San Francisco 1989, but I remember it very well. My wife and I were there on Holiday at the time and had driven across Bay bridge two days before it's collapse. Fortunately we were in the air at the time of the quake on our flight back to the UK. We still talk about that holiday today.

A terrible tragedy, I have saw harrowing images of bins falling over, plant pots on their sides and worst of all there was a broken gnome which fell 3 foot from a garden wall and is now broken. Emergency services will be responding when they can get through.

Yes - state of emergency declared in readiness for the aftershock.
 
:kiss:
 
according to twitter ,damage is estimated in the region of 39p ,the resulting tsunami has left dover as the start of the new Mud-terway to france and david cameron has been seen standing on the sea shore at ramsgate demanding the tide not to come in again
 
Oh wow the lengths Dave goes through to adopt ukip policy ;)
 
My wife and I were in Canada lying on a beach next to a lake in 2010 when there was an earthquake. I had my headphones in I just thought that was weird how the beach was moving in time to the music. Didn't realise it was a quake til we saw it on the news later then we both looked at each other and said oh that was what that weird feeling was then :-)
 
Had a small one in Crete last September (and an aftershock). TBH, I wasn't 100% sure I wasn't still 1/2 cut from a good evening the night before until the aftershock. Felt like a couple of inches of amplitude and about 1Hz frequency. IIRC the epicentre was off Sparta so a fair way away. Odd but not alarming. TBH, we're surprised that was the first one we experienced, they're not rare there.
 
Presumably this is the "earthquake" that UKIP promised us after the European elections.
