"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?

I live about 15-20 miles away from the epicentre (Dudley) and I felt NOTHING, I was fast asleep.

I live in northhampton, well about 5 minutes away and i woke up. I was terrifyed but then i thought i would go back to sleep.

What part of Notts?

Yeah the quake measured about 4-5.

Heh, Chris Moyles was talking about that on his new show. He made a comparison between the biggest earthquake in LA and the one yesterday (the biggest one in Britain) sort of made it look a little puny.
