I live in Kent, was just sitting in bed and felt my bed move from side to side. Went on Twitter and there's just been a 4.3 M earthquake in East Kent. I live in Whitstable... Scared the shit out of me.

    Heard on the news that dogs started barking and seagulls started flying rather than staying on the ground.

    Concerned of Blackheath

    #prayforKent

    Had a thought though. Can you imagine if fracking had already started? People would see this as evidence incorrectly that fracking had caused the issue.

    As the epicentre of the earthquake was in Ramsgate,
    I await Airman Brown's Report with interest.

    No doubt, Nigel will blame it on outsiders.

    I was very drunk so even if I did feel it I don't think I noticed it....

    Wife and I woke up, kids didn't even bat an eyelid.

    Remember one about 6-7 years ago too when I assumed I was dreaming it and went back to.sleep, only found out about 2 days later it'd damaged houses in Folkestone.

    the bbc are going to do a tribute featuring all the modern day pop artists to the tune of 'God only Knows' by the beach boys. The video will be in the Royal, Ramsgate beach front

    He'll find a way to blame the club and how he would have delivered a better, more supporter aligned earthquake

    A dreaming Nigel Farage hears "earthquake in East Kent" and immediately thinks it's the political earthquake generated by him winning his seat in the election.

    Then he wakes up...

    definitely as a consequence of immigration with all the foreigners landing on the East Kent coast and causing the ground to tip and then as they've ran off to make their escape, the land has tipped back down again.

    There was a fatal car accident just by us in Herne coincidentally about an hour before the earthquake.

    So when I then got up about half 3 to feed our daughter there were police cars, fire engines etc outside, the whole house had shaken an hour ago, was worried there'd been a bomb or an explosion of some sort
