So did anyone feel the tremors?
We didn't down here, just saw it on the news and heard from mates in Manchester who did. One almost lost their alcohol supply off the top shelf... i'd have been mortified.

Apparently the epicentre was Hull, UK!

p.s. I would've posted this in the UK News forum but I couldn't be bothered to wait for approval so I'll let you mod/admin guys move it

Strong earthquakes don't happen in England often, now, do they?

Nope! I live just outside of London... minor tremors were felt in London apparently but didn't reach as far as us... doh! Excitement over heh.

They do more here in the Alps.

Yes, I can imagine! Ooh more tremors expected! Better buckle myself up and enjoy the ride heh.

Do you really imagine it is like riding a wild bronco?

Haha course not, just curious mile:

It's more like a rumble, with a low raw bass sound... things start shaking and then it settles down. There are often after-tremors...

[Smurlos]

Hmmm I sound like one of those people who are really ungrateful as there are people out there who have to experience them all the time and they can often be veeeery destructive, so I should be lucky it didn't reach us. Human's are always curious though inspite of this.

Of course we don't all want our houses and families destroyed in an earthquake... I suppose the place where you'd be most likely to experience one would be in Japan. They are so common there that they regularly have safety practice. Do you remember a few years ago the tremor that shook Kobe?
