EARTHQUAKE!


I was rocked out of bed by it at around 1am this morning, anyone else feel it!?

[IPAndrews]

If a major earthquake did hit Grimsby... would anyone be able to tell the difference?

[Colonol Dekker]

Bah. If it's not London it doesn't matter

[Hellstryker]

I never even knew england GOT earthquakes 

[Flipside]

I felt it, but there's been a few lately so I wasn't really all that bothered... of course, had I been closer to the epicentre I might have

[karajorma]

Slept straight through it. Just like the great storm of 1987

[Fineus]

I never even knew england GOT earthquakes 

Agreed!

Also agreed!

I thought this was a joke or something when I woke up this morning... I'd always grown up thinking England didn't ever get earthquakes. I suppose being down in Portsmouth the chances of me feeling anything were low and I was asleep anyway. But still... weird.

That said, I imagine a lot of people who have suffered through worse quakes are rolling their eyes at everyone who's making too much of a fuss about this!

San Franciscans laugh at your 5.2:

[Colonol Dekker]

Yep but English laugh at you largely gay tourist demographic.

Dinosaurs laugh at your earthquake.

I didn't feel it at all. If only I was still spamming. Then I would have ran out of my house screaming "NUCLEAR ATTACK!!!"

Like waking up to find yourself bummed by a with a guy with a 1" cock, it's not the size so much as the fact that you totally didn't expect it that is important.

I woke up literally a few seconds before the "tremor" hit Manchester. Not much more than a vibration really (like if you stall the engine and the car vibrates). Wasn't sure if it had really happened or I'd had a "funny turn" as I was still half a sleep.

Best. Analogy. Ever.

[Wobble73]

The shake woke me up! And I'm on the Wirral, though I suppose that the fact I'm on a hill that's made of solid stone did't help the fact!

Dinosaurs laugh at your earthquake.

No, they die.

I saw the news this morning here in Canada. I've never been in an earthquake of any scale in my life. I want to experience one, they sound pretty cool!

[Flipside]

It's like you'd never think of the UK as being one of the worst areas for Wind-spouts and Tornados, but it is, but like the Earthquakes, they are mostly small and localised.

We have an advantage that much of the central British Isles is, or was, swampland, so it's kind of like having a shock-absorber built into the bedrock

Actually, that makes it worse, not better.

[colecampbell666]

Why would it do that? It would absorb the impact.

[karajorma]

At a guess I'd say ngtm1r is on about soil liquefaction like with the 1985 Mexico City earthquake where although hundreds of miles away from the epicentre the geology of the area made the Earthquake effects much worse.
