No - hick! I'm sure it wont make many headlines but it definitely was one. The house and our bed was visibly rocking and not a hallucinatory drug between us.
the entire house shook and rumbled (it's a knackered old sh*thole) but it shouldn't be doing that!
lasted for 30 secs or so fairly strong and then about ten seconds really lightly after another minute or so... felt as far as Canterbury to Hull supposedly
[cite]Posted By: bingaddick[/cite]According to BBC, reports of a tremor in West Midlands, so it must have been quite a big one to have covered that sort of area.
I remember the dudley one in 2002 which was also felt in sheffield - 4.8 magnitude. have been on the phone and email to the british geological survey for further info.

Reports of it being felt in manchester and oxford.
according to the US Geological Survey it was 4.7 but still it was certainly a bit more than a little tremor, especially for us non-veterans over here!
Would make sense for Lincoln area seeing as the majority of reports are stemming from Norfolk/West Mids/Yorks and that would be pretty central to those places
My desk at work is covered in dust. Night shift said they felt it... up here on the 29th floor. Feck that, I'd have been down the stairs and out of here!

Well the first shock was short and sweet my wifes legs appeared to shake as did the bed, I though for a second that I was dreaming and my luck had changed...:-) A few seconds later came the main shock which lasted for about 30 seconds which is longer than I normally can, and I then knew it wasn't a dream....:-(
Woke up at 1am...felt like I was in that bed moving scene in the Exorcist.....funny old building Im in...no foundations and built on oak poles in 1600 and Im effectively up in what was the loft...was a really weird sensation....usually a bomb going off wouldnt wake me...

Quite a bit bigger than the one in Dudley then. No wonder we felt it quite strongly here in Norwich.

Possibly this could be a good omen Bing.
