Annasfield Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm sure we just had a minor tremor. Chatting to some friends on MSN and they felt it too (in Nottingham). Will await further developments in the morning.::o Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2733-did-anyone-else-just-feel-the-earth-move/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrouge Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Nothing on Lordship Lane. Lewisham friends say they felt it though! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2733-did-anyone-else-just-feel-the-earth-move/#findComment-82986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 so it wasn't my imagination! I did wonder at the time, felt a bit of vertigo, and then forgot about it. Just looked at the BBC news website:Earthquake hits much of England http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stmThe biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across large parts of England. People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Manchester, the Midlands and Norfolk felt the tremor at about 0100 GMT.

dulwichmum Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Dear Redrouge,Well your friends in Lewisham will have felt it, and I would venture that the inhabitants of Lambeth were cowering under their kitchen tables too, these areas have so much in common with areas like Grimsby. You will find that the homes of Dulwich are good quality dwellings, built on firm foundations. The gin in my glass didn't even ripple, and I had already consumed half a bottle.This is afterall Dulwich darling, we are just not prone to this type of hysterical happening around here...

annaj Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Didn't feel a thing, but my sister in Ely (near Cambridge) was woken by it and it was strong enough that she knew it was an earthquake.

Annasfield Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 For those who it did wake, or who were awake anyway - did it not freak you out a little? I was quite spooked by it at first as I thought I was imagining things, but it was clear towards the end what was going on. Felt like I was in a scene from The Exorcist! :-SNo one in the office even knew about this morning and they all thought I was taking the Mick. I think those who did experience it have been more excited. Not the sort of thing you expect to experience in the UK.

quirky Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was awake and i just thought i must be more tired than i realised. Noone mentioned it at school either. I would have thought the kids would have been going on about it non stop but then again I suppose they most probably watch cartoons in the morning not GMTV.

pearcesa Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was woken up as my window was rattling and the door slammed (it was ajar), I thought it was the wind but clearly it was an earthquake ...

redrouge Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think we're prone to odd weather as opposed to strange earthmovements!My friend said he felt the earthquake, CDs fell from his shelf, yet my boyfrind and his flatmate felt absoloutely nothing! I suppose when it comes to Lewisham it all depends on how many CDs you own to measure the magnitude of truly British earthquake. I was also drinking at 1am (also gin!) but consuming cheese on toast (mozzarella). I wonder if cheese on toast buffers earthquakes...
