Earthquake of 5.2 magnitude hits Britain

[darklandz]

not sure if you guys over the pond heard about this, but at 01am last night i experienced an earthquake for the first time in 24 years.
as funny as it sounds, i was scared. i had absolute no idea what it was.
at the time it happened, i was on the phone to an ex-girlfriend who lives pretty far away from me, lets just say around 150 miles away.
first, my whole bed started vibrating really loud, a framed photo on the wall also started to shake rapidly.
i immediately asked my ex if she felt that, at first she said no then about 5 seconds later she felt it too.
apparently this was felt around some parts of europe.

Yeah, I felt it here as well.

wow that would be freaky. I doubt we are getting any earthquakes soon. Cyclones ae about as extreme as it gets for us, though we have had a tsunami warning once ;D

 

[chido]

Damn, I think I would've $#it my self ;D since I've never experienced an earthquake before.
Here in Minnesota, we only get those boring little @$$ tornados every now and then.

same here, i've never felt an earthquake either, just those pesky tornados.

 

[Things]

Never felt a tornado either ;D ;D

I live in San Francisco. I have felt too many earthquakes to count. The little ones are kind of fun. The big ones knock stuff over and put cracks in chimneys and walls. The really big ones have knocked down overpasses and parts of the bay bridge. Those ones are not fun in the least bit.
