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

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.

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 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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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.
