Earthquake!

[BREWSTERS]

Anyone feel this last night?

I was semi-conscious around about when it happened and in north Lancs but didn't feel anything. There was one over in Yorkshire a year or two ago which woke me up early doors.

 

[Blossom]

Nope, but not surprising since I'm on the other side of the country

I felt nothing in South Wales although I did feel the Kent one about 4 years ago and the extension made a loud creaking noise :shock:

Anyone see the eyewitness phone interview on BBC news this morning, the woman claimed her husband knew it was a 3.5 on the richter scale from their past experience of earthquakes in Cumbria and said so mid-earthquake.

If you mean where then Newport mate :-|

I did didnt realise you lived in Wales well done !

 

[neeorg]

I live in Newcastle and didnt feel anything, strange with it being quite close.

That woman is going to be bragging about her husband being a human richter scale, I might find out his name and register it

We felt it. Our house shook.

There was one almost identice in size and location last year, but even so that is quite a claim

Yeah - I felt it but didn't realise it was an earthquake till my daughter who was on facebook said 5 minutes later "theres been an earthquake in Cumbria!"

 

[tifosi]

no but I remember the late evening one about 18months ago epicentre north-yorks.

Caused a tsunami in my cup of tea... and cracks inthe plaster!

I felt the Cumbria one a couple of weeks back here in Kendal. The more recent one in Ripon I didn't feel although I believe some in Kendal did.

well the landscape is a bit of a giveaway guys in cumbria!
scafell area was a supervolcano!
only 40 in world. it's dead now. allegedly

 

[kendalcottages]

Well yes... but much of the volcanic rocks in the Lakes were formed 450-500 million years ago so I'm not sure how much relevance that has now...
