For those of you in America etc you may have experienced this before, but for myself this was quite something, i did actually dismiss this at first before i switched the news on!

Crazy events for sure

I sure felt it, scared me at first as I thought a bomb or something went off, but then I turned my tv on about 5 minutes after and saw it on bbc news 24.

Crazeh!

Never heard of an earthquake in England. Sounds fun

Weird. Didn't realise you guys were able to get them (I can't remember the plate picture though). Was it a heavy quake?

Also, Australia is immune to them Unless some crazy plate cracking happens

Wow, must have been scary. I've never experienced an earthquake before.

I've never experienced one either. That must of been shocking.

Wow, there was just an earthquake close to my area too.
I'm glad to see it wasn't a major one.

In all seriousness though, I'm happy nobody was hurt.

Er, I really dislike people that make fun of Al Gore for that...


But yeah, earthquakes are frickin' awesome and frickin' dreadful at the same time (usually depending on the magnitude) back when I was a little kid we had this earthquake and things were shakin, and I mean things were like falling off shelves and crap.. We ran outside and I swear the ground was like, waving... Never forgot that moment.

I farted and my chair moved should I blame global warming too?

Now seriously Global Warming DOES NOT cause earthquakes....jessus people

Don't quote images...

Glad to know you guys are fine.
I hear it was in the dead of night, though. How was that?

I live on the San Andres fault, get over it

Nah, glad nobody was hurt.

Living in California my entire life has caused me to find no amusement in earthquakes any more. They are just a normal event here. It is quite fun though to see others reactions like the time my friend came from New York and was scared when the quake happened. Apparently it is not so common

First significant one in 20 years I believe. I felt it.

I live about 30 miles from market Rasen just outside Grimsby and was nearly thrown out my bed from it
The thing sure had a nasty rumble to it too.
First thought the conico refinery had blown up.

Yeah for some reason I thought they were fairly common throughout the world, just at low magnitudes. We have them a few times a year or so (very small ones).

I'm still trying to figure out how we had an Earthquake, we're nowhere near a plate boundary. :S
