Hahaha!

It was felt as far afield as Barrow, Sellafield, Cockermouth, Windermere and Penrith.

From my forum

Location: Currently - Plymouth

Well that is odd because i got home at 11pm and as i crossed the road i heard a very low basey boom, like a distant rumble of thunder which i straight away discounted as the sky is star laden, hmmm

and

Location: WNW London

What time was this at cause I thought I hear something odd not long ago, thought it sounded like a car driving on and breaking badly on the ice, looked out and there was nothing......

Timing....ordered the pizza online at 10.30, shop closes at 11.00, so thought that as the pizza hadn't arrived by eleven I may have ordered too late, heard the noise not long before the pizza arrived at 11.05...clock is set forward two three minutes cause i always leave too late, so about 11.00

And, it was picked up on SW sensors on the Channel coast

Nothing here in North Cheshire. A bit disappointed really, do enjoy a good shake n' bake.

Somewhere north of Coniston old Man.

Was epic loud here, sounded at 1st like the water tanks were making a break for it in the roof.
