Earthquake??

We've just had one here I think :shock: :shock: Sitting in D's living room when everything started rocking from side to side :shock: :shock: It lasted about 20 seconds, and no Frank, we've not been on the cider ;) :lol:

That was weird! :? :?

Ooh exciting :D
They are weird, aren't they, I've felt several in this country but always when I've been in bed.
I was sure I felt one the other week but didn't see any reports.

Not a patch on the one when we were in Zante though, that was a proper earthquake :)

My friend's just posted about it and she lives in Solihull.

I was scared stiff when we had one 3 years ago. The house shaking, the pictures all skewiff on the walls and I'll never forget the rattling of our gates. :shock: :shock: Really scary.

It has made the news sites.

4.4 magnitude just north of Swansea at about 2:30... a bit early for the cider to have kicked in. ;) :lol: :lol:
