WOW! My whole house just shook really violently (old brick Victorian house).

I am in north Milton Keynes, lasted about 15 to 30 seconds, anyone else felt it?

Bugger me

Sat there happily reading away on t'internet and the house started shaking like it was on water!

I've now got one cat who's terrified of his own shadow! and another who is almost considering opening both eyes

lasted at least 30seconds all the way up here in Grantham Lincolnshire. My house mate is stoned and hes just cr@pped himself, very funny.

CrisPDuk

Damn

Beaten to it

Earthquake. Definitely.

Just lying in bed watching the box when the whole house had two small episodes of shaking. I've never felt anything like it - any one else experience this?
Ps - not been drinking

As just said in the other thread, Grantham Lincolnshire felt it violently too. Dogs scared but not as bad as my house mate, stoned out of his head he thought we should run out in the street lol

Me too I am in Cambs where you 2 from

Anyone else in the Midlands (Hinckley / Nuneaton area) just feel something (0100hrs GMT 270208)?

There was, what I initially thought hugely strong gust of wind out of nowhere, as the window being buffeted, but as it continued I realised it was the house that was moving. Everyone else in this house was woken up by it, so I'm not imagining it!

Has there been an Earthquake or a big explosion close by?????

lol I am sober and I nearly shat myself, ran into the bedroom to make sure everyone was okay, noticed the wardrobe had moved out from it's place lol.. hope it was just an aftershock and not an omen for something worse on it's way!

That must have been a big earthquake for it to have been felt so widely.

When I lived in Wellington, NZ, we used to get a small quake, 4-ish, at least once a week. Interesting feeling up nine floors in a 5.5-ish.
