[Sim]

yeah i felt it, i was taking a leak at the time. i couldnt aim properly.
stuff was falling off the sides of the bath, it scared me at first.

[jak16lfc]

I'm glad i was'nt picking my nose, could have had my eye out.

[Laura_25]

I felt it too, thought I was imagining things, lying in bed on my laptop when suddenly my room shook.

Same here

It says much for my geographical knowledge that I thought it was a particularly strong draft coming through my window.

That report is from Monday, have they got the date wrong? Surely we'd not still feel such a big tremor 24hours later? :confused:

New breaking news story on there now

[AntonioLFC08]

"Tremors felt across England from Manchester to Norfolk"

Personally I thought I had overdone it on the weed earlier.

[matchoftheday]

I felt it also, glad you lot did as well, thought I might actually be going crackers.

Sky news stated that the epicentre was 15 miles north of Lincoln and 4.7 on the Richter scale. Pretty cool.

Aye, just posted that over on TTWAR. I thought the other story didn't make much sense!

[Sim]

bbc are now reporting it was 5.3 on the richter scale

[RedRich]

Fuck, is that what that was? It woke me up, I sleepily thought the girl who lives above me was getting some!

Earthquake? Shit. Lampard must be in town boom boom

[NeverOffside]

Didn't feel a thing. :(

[ger_ryan22]

We woke up with the bed moving and the wardrobes clanging! Thought we were going mad!!

Classic British earthquake incident.

A man suffered leg injuries when a chimney collapsed in South Yorkshire.

Got to say I was in deep sleep mode, went to bed at half 9, and it scared the bejesus out of me.

GET THE LIGHT ON!!!!!

Seriously, try using a mattress and sheets, its a lot more comfortable.

I live in the middle of west yorkshire in the North of England about 50 miles west of the epicentre. I felt the tremor for about 10 seconds. Shot up (as I was drifting in an out of sleep, so i was able to react) and ran to check on the children who were OK. They had slept through it!

The walls of the hosue and in fact the whole bedroom shook. It felt like a train was passing right next to the house. Don't c any damage to the house thank God.
