    Live in cheltenham and felt it here, heard a bang and the whole house started shaking, thought the house was about to collapse :(

    I didn't feel a thing, I was still awake watching a DVD.

    Apparently the epicenter was in Grimsby, news reports are suggesting around £15 worth of damage* :D

    My boyfriend felt it and woke up, I of course slept through it (as usual!) and didn't know a thing about it until this morning.
    I can't remember the last big thing like this that I HAVEN'T slept through - I've slept through earthquakes, tornados, you name it, I've slept through it :(

    When are people finally going to take global warming seriously? See what we're doing to our planet??

    It's nothing to do with global warming! earthquakes like this happen here every 10-20 years or so.

    Nothing gets past you eh? ;)

    Just ripping the pissing out of the over-sensitive environmentalists who blame anything on global warming :wave:

    I don't blame it on global warming, but the fact that there have been so many in a short while lately, and then one over there (which is very rare) is a bit strange.

    about 5 years ago there was a little spate of tremors which i remember, was quite fun, but they happened every few days or so.

    dont start about global warming, i blame global warming for me not enjoying my job, being skint, hangovers, losing things. its all the environments fault.

    Perhaps he just blocked you. You blame the earthquake though ;)

    Slept right through it :(
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    It was awful although I'm glad to hear it was an actual Earthquake as I thought it might be in my head (as I often 'feels' things that aren't there or aren't occuring presently). I was so scared, it gave me a panic attack and then I couldn't tell if my bed was shaking because it already was or because I was shaking so much!! I tried to remind myself that it was just like going through turbulance on an aeroplane (sensation wise) but yeah it terrified me :(

    i ahd it here in london thought it was my bro running up an down the steps an then thought it was a big truck going down my street lol
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I would like to live in California if it wasn't for the earthquakes. They would probably scare the heck out of me!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    A bloke on Sky News said something like "I thought it was a freight train outside of my house" unless he has a railway line running through he garden that would be quite strange.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    In the paper it said that more than 17,000 people had called 118 118 to find out what was going on. WTF?! :eek2:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I thought it was a ghost shaking my bed because earlier in the day me and my flatmate were talking about the house being haunted! I nearly wet myself, am so glad it was an earthquake!

    Fail quake was fail. I didn't even feel it ffs.

    If it hit at least 6, I might have cared. Being in a 6 was interesting, and slightly entertaining. Wierd shit mind. Wierd as fucks.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    LOL the scariest ones to be in would be the 7's and 8's on the richter. An 7.2 killed 140,000 in Kobe, Japan in 1995. Cos their buildings weren't EQ safe. And an 8.1+/- brought up half of Wellington (my home town) in 1855.

    Maybe it was a ghost, and just didn't know how strong it was. :p

    Aparently people on the Isle of Shite felt it. :confused:

    I was awake and I felt fuck all.

    I wonder how many people were shagging at the time and how many of them felt the earth move? :D

    Didnt feel anything and it we did have tremors where I was I would have slept through them anyway.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    It woke everyone in my house up, although I couldn't get to sleep beforehand. My Mum thought someone had crashed into the house, everything was shaking and the house was rocking afterwards. We live about 10 miles away from the epicenter so we felt it pretty bad.
