Geoff Settle Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Mine did and it wasn't until I watched BBC 24 that I found out that it was a 4.7 near hull. Did anyone else feel their bed move at 1am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Certainly did, but then I am just round the corner from you Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Settle Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 It was actually 5.2 and Lucy our dog didn't even bark. It was the biggest tremour for 25 years much bigger than the ones I#ve experienced in Manchester City centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was sat here catching up on the posts and wouldn't have known, had my wife not come down and told me the rattling of the mirror doors and the bed moving woke her as she was dropping off. Our dogs never moved, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Bed didn't move , but Mrs K and I were both woken. As usual I didn't bother to get out of bed to investigate. Quite a rumble although it didn't set our alarm off...thunder does. Thankfully no visible damage in the locality.

alana Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 That can be scarey ..when we lived in LA we use to get them were you could see the floor ripple. Rock and roll as they say..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Logging off at 00.58 hrs when screen and keyboard started to madly vibrate - thought computer about to explode and then as I realised the desk was also moving thought the new boiler about to blow up - amazing how much goes through the mind in matter of 10 serconds or so - anyway it was very scary but Mrs P next door not distutbed. Very different from the 1984 quake centred on North Wales at 7.30 a.m when I just felt dizzy for a few seconds when making a brew and then a friend phoned to say she was on top floor of the old college building on Winwick Road and she had felt the building sway.

asperity Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I never felt a thing. Mind you my ship was in Galway at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I know a good chippy in Galway if your interested. I was in milton Keynes when this took place and it was enough to wake us up with doors and furinture shaking.
