well I was asleep when it started.
it woke me up, but I put it down to the dog scratching his leg while leaning against the wall (he is a great dane!!). then my mum text me to say they
had a quake, which made a lot more sense!
then I struggled to get to sleep, but had drifted off only to be woken by an aftershock at about 3.30am. did anyone else feel this one, or was it
actually the dog this time!!

We lost a few pieces of Wedgewood china and a few pictures here in Whitby!!!
I was busy cleaning-up when I should have been bidding for something good on Ebay. Which I missed and it went for a few quid. Everyone else must have
been clearing-up too!!
I didn't realise it was an earthquake until the news told me this morning!

huh not even a wobble up here 
there is quite a lot of quakes on the westcost of Scotland, 5.3 magnitude is quite big, might be the precursor to a new volcano

No Martin - what you have there is a couple of horses!!! Just need saddles and young children could ride them.
I missed the aftershock!! Saw it on the BGS website though. Bugger!!

so i wasn't going crazy. that's nice to know!
it wasn't too violent in huddersfield. more of a steady forceful oscillation. made my bed feel like a water bed and my fridge kept rocking for a
while.
i can't decide whether i want it to happen again or not. obviously not if it's going to cause damage, but it was an experience

I'm 8 miles South of big wasa and that's exactly how it felt to me, long sustained low-frequency rumble and I could feel the house sway
very gently and slightly. The earth definitely moved for me last night!

I live in Grimsby, so not very far from the epicentre of the quake (market rasen). The shaking woke me up, but i was still in a sleepy state. SWMBO
asked me if i could feel the house shaking, which i could... but then for the rest of the night i was laid there thinking did the house start shaking,
or am i just going crazy
I know that the RAF test jets over lincolnshire as it is a large flat area, and they fly low over there. several years ago i lived a little further
south in lincolnshire near Brigg, and there was a similar house shaking experience late in the night... that ended up being a sonic boom from a low
flying aircraft

I though that is almost impossible to get earthquakes in Britain
No, there is loads of them but usually so small you'd not notice unless you have specialist earthquake monitors.

I'm 5 miles from the epicentre, and woke up in mid air! Though the whole roof had fallen off/chimney collapsed/chinook crashed in the garden or
something. Very load and lots of movement fro about 10 seconds, but strangely no damage at all.

Slept through it in Newcastle, only found out when I got to work, but then I sleep through pretty much anything - it's a gift
