LOL It was a quake Ian... man it makes you feel damn small. It was pretty strong too, I'm near leeds where are you? I wonder where the epicentre was. Like you I was sat here browsing and then the small vibrational waves started to come on, then bang the whole F+++in house started shaking!!!! I could feel the air in the room actually, waffting my face!!
I knew it was a quake as soon as I felt the first murmurs, So I shouted my missus who had just climbed into bed LOL it freaked her and me out. I remember that quake we had about 5 years ago, do you? It was exactly 1 o'clock in the morning last time, this one was out by 5 minutes!
last was 11 kms underneath dudly i think.
Just been to usgs realtime global data site but the 2 sensors in the uk haven't registered it seems..
Man, the power of nature!! that was a beauty... sweet dreams LOLOLOL
It was quite strong too in Rotherham & just like you said it started with small vibrations & the walls & ceiling shook for a good ten seconds & the roof made the same kind of noise when you get a strong gust of wind!
And I thought it was that dodgy sarnie I had for me tea!
I felt it in Driffield, woke me up with a rumbling noise first then came the movement the bed started shaking then the rads started rattling, then it stopped so i turned over looked at the clock which said 12.58. And went back to sleep.
What i cant understand though is why do people phone the emergency services ?
Ok you may be scared but unless your life or property is in imminent danger keep the phone lines clear for genuine EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY anyone else agree with that ?
Epicentre Lincolnshire, largest onshore quake for quite some time I believe. I'd had a (free) skinful sadly, so didn't fell a thing until I regained conciousness around 5.00 this morning, fortunately in my own bed.
I have recently moved to this house and I was woken up with the bed shaking, I thought it was a poltergeist.
I don't normally believe in the paranormal but I never moved for about an hour.
