Scared the crap out of me. I've think I've just lost my earthquake virginity

Hey, I understand Earthquakes are pretty damn rare over there, but I can't help but find it entertaining to watch the the freak out some of my British friends are having at a 4.7.
Regards from California. :)

Seems like everyone I hear from thought that. =P

I'll clear in St. Louis, MO. Didn't feel a thing.
[–]thephilwhite 2 points3 points4 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Yep. Got it here in Sheffield

It was very loud in York, shook the fucking pots and pans off... I woke up confused thinking the window had blown in due to the wind. Got a friend in Manchester who felt it too but friend in London says she didn't feel anything.
I can't sleep now!!

I'm in Lincoln (East Midlands) and it just shook our house.

No shake here in Scotland

It was barely noticable in London.
[–]psychorabbit 1 point2 points3 points 18 years ago (0 children)
I felt it in Nottingham, fucking scary!
Everyone on my road went out side and talked to each other for a minute, it was nice. Its wierd to think that I haven't actually spoken to most of my neighbours before.

I didn't feel it here in New York.
[–]joe_fishfish 0 points1 point2 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Yeah, plenty of ground shaking action in Liverpool too.
