It wasn't in the london area, it was everywhere.

The earthquake was actually in japan.

And yes it did scare the shit out of me. The tv nearly fell on my head, and a plate on my wardrobe nearly smashed.

Yes, very much true. It shook my chair I was sitting in, at first I just ignored it, and thought nothing of it, but waking this morning to hear we had an earthquake explains it a lot.

My brother also said he was in bed and his entire bed shook, again he just dismissed it.

5.2 magnitude. We get a 5+ magnitude earthquake once every 10-20+ years.

You mean Lincolnshire, surely?

An earthquake of that magnitude hitting us from all the way in Japan would not only be impossible, but would probably be strong enough to shake japan and move it closer to china :P

(It happened at roughly 1am)

How could you dismiss your bed shaking?
Is your house known for having poltergeists? (sp)

With the very recent death of an old friend (my sisters friend who used to be very close to our family) at the age of 23 (I think), it certainly crossed our minds, but I am a non-believer of the 'super-natural', so I always hope potential super-natural happenings to come with some explanation soon after, luckily this did :P

ditto. i thought it was something outside at first only after it ended did i realise it was a quake. my bro felt it too his bed was shaking so knew it wasn't just me imagining things. half the ppl i talked to today didn't feel a thing, especially 1 of my mates was pissed at 1am so its like hes in a quake all the time anyway :lol: anyway, good to hear everyone is ok and hope everything is good with the community. i got a new graphics card recently so cod4 runs great now...but still addicted to guild wars :roll:

I was in bed and half asleep when it happened. It shook my window open and my curtain billowed so I thought someone was trying to climb through my window. I practically had a heart attack lol. Impressive though. I slept through the one about 4/5 years ago.

I heard that some chimley fell through the roof of a house and crushed someone's pelvis lol. If they were male I feel so sorry for them.

I was in bed watching Alan Partridge with headphones on - I didn't feel a thing. Still, I reckon I would of had it shook my room.

Shame, I want to experience an (harmless to me) earthquake :(
