BBC N24 said it was 4.7 on the Richter scale, (though I heard that only reporters still use that) and it started near Hull.

I'm hoping Ulley reservoir survived intact after what happened last summer 8-[

Things were falling off the shelves, and that was one hell of a noise as well. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Went to bed at 12 SWMBO said she would be up in a minute, she fell asleep downstairs, next thing I knew she was running around the house screaming that the lights were going on and off, and the house was shaking.The kids jumped out of bed, and the missus was physically shaking.I reasured her she was having a bad dream, though she swore it was real, I said go to sleep mad women :)

No doubt the Greenies will be quacking about it being caused by global warming, causing Red Ken to bring in a 'Tax the 4x4's more because the weight of them causes earthquakes' charge and the Government will set up a 'Respect for Earthquakes Thinktank'.
