"Earth tremor!"

Did anyone else just experience an earth tremor?

I was sitting here updating my website when the whole house shook - enough to cause some stuff on my desk to fall over, but not to do any damage.

It was bloody scary!

I'm in Northampton - anyone else have it?

Just found this if anyones interested. Seems like it was a little widespread.

Yeah, was more than a little strange. Be interesting to find out where else felt it.

One of the scariest feelings I've ever had, that was.

Well i live near a factory, and at first i thought it was something gone wrong over there, has been some explosions there before, but none that shuck the house and made a noise like that, so i was about to look outside when i refreshed this page and saw your post.

Woke my whole family up too.

It's about 100 miles from Northampton to Sheffield!

Pretty major and widespread then.

I bet we hear on the news tomorrow that there's been a big earthquake in Europe somewhere.

My heart is still pounding. Heard a rumbling outside while it was happening, too. Very unnerving.

Sure did.

Im in Sheffield and the whole house just shuck. The moniter almost fell.
