Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Morning all no I haven't woke up in pain but by the earth quake it was huge and happened just a few minutes before 1am. only for a few seconds but it was still quite scary. :eek:

I found it very strange how only a few of my neighbours were woken up by it! :confused:

It was like someone was shaking my whole bedroom, poor Bob ran upstairs and thought I had fallen out of bed.

I had thought it was a local thing in the Sheffeild/Rotherham area but I was so very wrong as Compost Maker (Jean)felt it in Lancashire!Hel.xxx.

 

Morning Helen Woo and all,Helen I told you the reason for the eathquake in the weather thread,the real reason the epicentre was in the Market Raisen area one old guy was injured by a falling chimney in South Yorkshire minor structural damage elsewhere,biggest tremmor in britain for 25years,so keep your heads down and have a safe day.

 

Yawn,Good Morning everyone yawn,Only just got up after being woken up at 12.55 am? by the whole of the house shaking and a strange noise like a sound wave? I thought I was dreaming but it woke Mr Kandy as well..

The cat shot off the bed and vanished.We thought at first that the house had been hit by a car,but then suspected an Earthquake,yawn because the same thing happened a few years ago when we were living here,when they had that one with the epicentre in Dudley :rolleyes:

They have just given it out on the TV that there was an Earthquake out Lincolnshire way {Market Reyson?} of 5.2 magnitude.It was felt by people down in Bedfordshire :eek: We also felt the one in 1984 when we were working for Plessey.I was in the canteen at the time and one half of the canteen tables all moved like a small wave for a couple of seconds.

Mr Kandy went round the house checking everything was ok but then we couldn't get back to sleep because it made us a bit jittery and now I feel shattered because I crashed back out :(

Hope you all have a good day in all you do ...Yawn

:D Cheeky Walnut I did of course answer you with my own lovely band of humour on the weather thread.

Kandy Market Rasen is quite close (as the crow flys) to us and boy was it scary but what I found very strange was that my two Yorkies were not bothered in the least with the shaking.... in fact they dropped back to sleep quite soon afterwards normally they would be shaking like a leaf at something so strange!Hel.xxx.

 

morning all my first words to lady imp was did the earth move for you last night....she just looked at me after a rubbish nights sleep paused and said pathetic :D :D ...haha is it just women that take half hour to wake up..have a safe day

 

morning everyone, As i said in other post, the earthquake was here also, wasnt a very nice experience bed shaking my thoughts were i was visted by ghosts, are we likely to get another one of these its my first experience of such a thing.
have a great day all

 

Morning Woo and all.

Thankfully a very peaceful night after the scary visit from the earthquake the other night.

Rosa not sure if the earthquake had the same affect where you are as here? but I was amazed just how many people slept through it and it was by no means a small shudder.

I do agree with you it was very much like I was getting a visit from a very angry poltigist and I now know the feeling of having your whole life flashed before your eyes....only seconds but it seemed a very long time indeed! :eek:

Ste you need your hands slapping not all 'us' women need half an hour to wait up..... well not all the time! :D

Shiney 7.8 I can't imagine how horrific an earthquake of that size can be and to be honest I wouldn't want to experience even another 'small' one anytime soon!

Hope you all have had a pleasant restful nights sleep.Hel.xxx.
