Well I felt it.
The earthquake.
At 00.57 I was woken by the whole house vibrating and a deep rumbling (as though a fleet of a couple of hundred very large HGV’s were cruising up the drive at 60mph.).
My first thought was that the hot water tank was boiling and about to explode.
Then it settled to a low-level throb for one or two milliseconds and then vanished.
‘Oh yeah’, I thought. ‘Earthquake’.
I can remember the first one I ever felt – I was working in San Francisco. Now that really was scary.
According to this morning’s media the epicentre was in north Lincolnshire; there are a number of quotes from the British Geographical Society (whose website will, I imagine, get hit to buggery and back today).
Ironic really, because BGS are based less than 20 miles from from the epicentre – at Keyworth in Nottinghamshire.
A crisply-minted bar of chocolate goes to the first person to hypothesise a conspiracy theory about BGS trying to drum up business…

I’m glad that, according to the news, nobody got injured except an unfortunate guy who’s had a broken leg.
Maybe some people enjoying a little shag session at that moment may have thought “oh god, what have we done?” lol
I was still up and it took me about 10 minutes to find the website and the earthquake part of it had locked up already.
I felt nowt.
