Glad to hear you all are ok...

The animals are usualy the first ones to react. Often before things even happen.


Have some tea.. and take it easy.

lol that's wicked, ruby!

Although it was felt by some in Brighton, I wasn't aware of anything going on although did have a very disturbed night.

Glad you didn't suffer serious damage and hope you found hubby safe and well [;)]



subbygirly -> RE: Earthquake in England? (2/27/2008 1:48:36 AM)

I am too far away from it so I didnt feel it, but experienced it once in peru 1994 and in my home country germany in 2004 where I lived in the actual area where it happened with the scale 5.4 and I didn't like it. I never thought I would be able to experience that there and it was an odd feeling to have the impression there would be an underground train driving through straight underneath from our house. But apart from minor injuries to cups and plates and a few minor cracks to some houses gladly nothing happened from it in our region.

I was on CM at the time (1 am).
It was definitely noticeable. After the first surprise I switched on BBC TV  to check my guess that it was in fact an earthquake.
It's now rated as 5.2 on the Richter scale which I think is quite powerful but I believe it occured very deep underground. Luckily.
San Andreas sooner or later. . That will rearrange the landscape.

i hope you have a better nights sleep tonight.

I find seismology fascinating, so a little disappointed I didn't actually feel anything, although once went on an earthquake simulator, so that's likely the closest I'll get to experiencing one. I grew up wanting to be one of those adverse weather chasers until I read that they spend the majority of their time sitting around bored to tears. Where's the fun in that, I ask you? lol

Ruby, thanks for that, although I'll hopefully ensure it tonight - by locking my boy in his cage. He keeps nicking the bed covers, so that I wake up with my backside freezing cold, he holds onto the covers like a barnacle on a whale's bum!

And should one weaken, a foot on the floor at all times... How on earth was that ever achieved? [:D]



lusciouslips19 -> RE: Earthquake in England? (2/27/2008 3:14:08 AM)

I was in an earthquake once. Slept through it. I swear!



MissMorrigan -> RE: Earthquake in England? (2/27/2008 3:23:39 AM)

I'm usually the same way, luscious. We had severe storms here back in the 80s, which damaged a lot of the UK resulting in several deaths and while my neighbours were battling to stop their windows from breaking, I slept through it all! I only found out about it when a neighbour's greenhouse disappeared [:D]

Heretic, the massive glacier melting is taking a huge amount of weight off of several plates, which is causing effects throughout the plate/fault system of the entire world.  Greenland is near England and directly messing with its fault lines.  You bet this can be blamed on Global warming.

During the most recent Devensian  glaciation, which probably ended just 10,000 years ago, the Usk valley and Wye valley were eroded by glaciers, with the ice sheet itself reaching Birmingham


Maybe not. An"expert" on the jolly old BBC claimed that the "fault" under the UK was caused by pressure of the glaciers that melted 10k years ago.



MissMorrigan -> RE: Earthquake in England? (2/28/2008 2:09:02 AM)

Thought I would post this link as it provides a little more information regarding earthquakes in the UK, which many people didn't realise we have always experienced, albeit on a minor scale by comparison to many other countries:

I was told no worries, it was just Q testing out a prototype martini mixer for Bond.......... you know he's not a big fan of the stirred beverage.

As it happens, it woke me up about 1 in the morning.

I'm sure the many whose homes and business and vehicles were damaged by falling masonry and chimneys, and especially the guy sleeping in his bed who got his legs broken by the same mechanism straight through his roof and ceiling, are glad it was really nothing.

many many years ago, the first hubby and i were living in an apartment building and the maintenance guy was working on our furnace.  we had  fairly good sized quake here, bad enough to give the building a shake and make the furnace rattle horribly.  one second the guy was there, the next he was on the front lawn having a panic attack, and we lived on the third floor.  it was amusing in a sick sort of way i suppose, the ex and i never even stopped reading our newspaper.  just wasn't enough of a jolt to get that frantic about.

They had a 5.0 today.

I think Great Britain is going to fall off into the ocean.

Time to wax my surfboard.

PanthersMom -> RE: Earthquake in England? (2/28/2008 12:41:59 PM)

A 4.7 is nothing. [snort of disdain] Mild shaking barely enough to knock a few items off the shelves and give you something to chat about over a pint with your mates. I 've been through a 5.6, a 5.8, and it still was hardly more than a good shaking and a dull rumble.

When the Richter Scale hits a 6.5 or better, let me know.

Well, hell girlie, if I'm reading this thread correctly, that was sex with some Brit you slept through.
