Did the Earth move for you?

Okay, so was our household the only one in eastern England not woken up by the earthquake last night?!

Sophie Green Make that the midlands and eastern England!

Steg Didn't feel a thing! Bloody typical, all this excitement and I missed it.

Stephanie Delacey I felt my bed shake - and I'm down in Hertfordshire! Didn't realise it was an earthquake until just now, though.

Alli' Cat' I guess it must be, because the shaking bed and rattling radiators woke me up - and I live in the west!

Joanna if it did hit down here in Essex I slept right through it...

I would have thought you would have felt it Becky, was just down the road from you....

Becky Thanks Steg, at least Jane and I aren't the only ones in Lynn!

If you think about it, there's nothing much but mud and sea between here and North Lincolnshire, it probably doesn't transmit shockwaves well. :-)

Dan It woke me up, and also woke up Kerry who was in Birmingham last night.

Pandora Caitiff I slept right through it too

Jayne I felt the earth move the other week, I had my first flutter since surgery in 06.

Oh you meant that Earth Quake thing that measured 5.5..... Damn, I would have loved to have experienced that.

sophie h It woke me up too. No apparent damage done to the house thankfully. Lets hope we won’t see any bigger ones.
I think you may be right about the geology where you are Becky, but does Lynn actually sit on bedrock or mud? The mud may have a damping affect, but given sufficient energy will liquify!

Nicky I had fallen asleep on the sofa and was awakened at 1.00 a.m. by our pet rabbit kicking hell out of his hutch. Never felt anything though but at least it prompted me to stagger up to bed!

Penny M Everyone at work (Manchester) claimed to have been woken up by it. We were, but came to the somnolent conclusion that the there was a gale and it had blown the windows in - until it was clear that there wasn't and it hadn't.

Vic I'm in Hertfordshire too and felt nothing.

Tiffy Kent? Not a sausage, hun. x

transfattyacid 4 on the richter scale here, and it was quite freaky.

Lara Tyg I had just jumped into bed & was awake when it hit, & yes It did frighten the crap out of me as it sounded like I had a cow running about in the loft over my head.
Living in an area where houses dissapear into chalk workings on a far too frequent basis I was out of the house like a flash.
