Earthquake, run for your Lives!!!

[Pseudonym]

Reports of an earthquake in the Birmingham area reaching as far down as West Midlands(edit: isn't Birmingham in West Midlands, Hmm guy who told me worded that pretty funny).

Anyone on here feel it?

Edit: Someone i know just north of London felt it, and someone in Hull. Looks like the epicentre could actually be near Birmingham.

4.8 on the Richter Scale is a reasonable quake by any standard. I didn't think the UK experienced quakes...not that you can feel anyway. Glad to see that you lot are all ok

 

[FarFarAway]

Apparently GMTV have it as a 5.2

 

[nepas]

so.i didnt imagine it after all then

I was reading this and thinking, I'm only 10 miles south of Brum, I didn't feel a thing. Everyone in the UK is claiming to have felt it. I didn't go to bed until ~12:30 and it hit at 1am... Oh well, would have been cool to experience.

I didn't think we were near fault lines?

We had a few tornados recently... What's going on? The end of the world!!!
