I got a piece of it in Leeds, thought I heard headboard banging from the girl next door at first, but it appears it was a rare occurance.

;D thats quite strong for round here Tiffie! 30 miles south of Hull, should put it in the middle of rural Lincolnshire somewhere. Hah, so I can see. ;D I've learned to tune out quakes below 5.0+, since I'm used to getting loads of "small" quakes on a regular basis, as I used to live on the San Andreas fault. Wow, awesome. Would be pretty cool so long as it didn't wreck your house or anything. Anyway, fun's over now, time for sleep. Night all.

Wow, awesome. Would be pretty cool so long as it didn't wreck your house or anything. Anyway, fun's over now, time for sleep. Night all. Nah, even a 7.0 did all but nothing to my house. We've got building codes that help deal with quakes, and, since it's a desert, the sand absorbs most of the bad shocks. (This one made the road near my house warp really badly, though! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector_Mine And I lived in LA during the massive one we had in '94!) I guess that's why it's such a big thing over here - you don't get them too often, so all your buildings go, "Ooooh, nonono~no!" and shake like there's no tomorrow. Night! Also, because I feel it's necessary ;D

I felt nothing! ...then again, I'm used to quakes happening all the time back home ;D *is horribly amused at all the fuss* I've seen the fuss you make when there's half an inch of snow

4.7 on Richter Scale which is reasonably strong for this country. Epicentre of Lincolnshire - near Hull apparently. BBC says 5.3 now, with a 1.8 aftershock.

Didn't feel a thing over here. Then again, I also slept through the 5.0 one in Dudley a few years ago. Went downstairs for breakfast, was asked what I thought of the earthquake or whether I felt it or something. I had to ask, "What earthquake?" Was sound asleep and that's the way it stayed! ;D

I didn't feel a thing and there doesn't really seem to be any kind of damage here either.
Is there any visible damage to everyone that felt it?
Wondering if it was just strongest in the midlands and weaker in the South?

I don't think it would have reached as far south as Winchester - no damage done to my place but it was shaking for about 15 seconds I'd say. It's weird though coz Jemma only lives about 5 miles from me and the earth didn't move for her? ;D
