Well, i'm 31 in a couple of weeks, and i've only ever known 2 earthquakes in the UK in my whole life. And what is remarkable is the previous one was about 1 year ago... Now why have we had 2 in the space of 1 year ?? I didn't think the UK EVER had any, but now 2 in 12 months !!! Strange.
Anyway, i felt it.... It felt like a 50ton truck had been dropped on the road outside. When you virtually never have quakes it makes you wonder whats going on...
I ran outside to see what had crashed... Only to find "nothing".
Then the news said what it was... LOL... 4.8 and biggest in 10 years. Well, at least it wasn't Iraq starting something !!
