:o :o :o Jumped out of my skin when a perfume bottle on my dressing table just fell over all by itself! (Heavy-ish bottle - wide-ish base) - then heard on Radio 4, a couple of minutes later, that there had been an earth tremor in south east England!!! Seems to have been centred on Kent - details still coming through. Very odd - waiting for aftershocks now. ;)

Always thought the moles were bigger down here Grandma! ;D ;D
Seriously though, that's a little unnerving so close to home. :o

Wow. that was one of the comforts on leaving BC as we were sitting right on the San Andreas fault line and it was just a matter of time. I thought we were Ok here though. Pretty scary isn't OO, i hope you are OK NOW xx jeannine

I remember when we had them here in the North West five years ago, during the summer of 2002.
Over a couple of months we would have them maybe two or three times a day, at first i was petrified, but they happened so often it was just like ....... "oh right, its just another earthquake" ::) ::) :D ;D

I hope that is not the first time the earth has moved for you. ;)
-
You can get these minor earth movements anywhere, they're not like the big quakes which are concentrated in specific regions.
-
The earth moved for me last night. ;D ;D ;D

Just listening to the news, didn't realise how bad the damage was :(
Kev ~ put that lady down :D

Damage-wise, I believe it's one of the worst recorded in the UK. I'm not sure as yet what the reason for that was; it may well simply have been a shallow quake where all the energy (approximately equivalent to a nuclear bomb) was concentrated in a small area.

I was at my mother's in Kent about 10 miles from Folkestone - quite a weird experience but not as bad as when I was 10 floors up in NZ in a building that was designed to move to absorb the shocks.
