Just wondering if anybody else felt the earthquake that struck the East Midlands about 4:20pm this afternoon.

Here in South Lincolnshire it lasted about 10 seconds and shook my entire house. At one point the ground felt as though it dropped down.

It was certainly a very wierd experience.

So did anybody else feel it?

Strange. I just asked me mam about this, she said that there had been one in America, but she had yet to hear about this one.

That's very strange that it could be felt. Then again, where is the East Midlands? Sorry, my Geography is an embarrassment (well, that's my decision sorted for GCSE's then!). I heard some people talking about it on a chat room somewhere. It certainly must have been a fierce one to be heard over here.

Oddy enough, I did feel a small tremour... but thought someone had just jumped off the bed in the next room!

Still, it was nothing compared to the one earlier this year... being in Coventry, that was far more violent than this one... which was bearly noticable over here.

I'm guessing it's in the midlands, to the east, roughly, you know, kind of to the right of the west midlands!!!

The East Midlands is made up of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire.
Basically its central-eastern England.

So, there was an Earthquake in England then? I didn't think that was physically possible. Please explain ukconfederate. Oh yes, one more thing, what's with the name? It makes me think of you as an American or something! Please help me here. Thanks. R@ckstar.
