****EARTHQUAKE!****

[DirtyMonkey]

Yeah felt it up here in Manchester, rattled my book case and woke me up, I was pretty excited about it but my Kiwi wife (who has had her fair share of quakes) was very unimpressed with the whole thing - not even worth getting out of bed for.

That lad is lucky.

Lucky that a chimney came through his roof and hit him?

That lad is lucky.

What about the thousands of others who didnt get hit at all? What about the people that found money on that very same night..

They are lucky.. not the lad..

 

[Dogoid]

lucky it didn't decapitate his face

Maybe, they want to nuke my town tbh that should do some good, but it proberbly was an experiment or something .

Oi! Nothing wrong with York.
Could be worse. It could be Bradford.

I had a dream last night that my wife was having an epileptic fit, its been nagging at me all day, the wife says she is fine, I just realised that it must have been the earthquake shaking the bed that caused the dream.

Usually its my wife who makes the bed shake

 

[Surfer]

Was there any warning by anyone that an earthquake might hit? Isnt an earthquake sorta classified as "extreme weather" ?

Also this has probably already been answered but an earthquake on the scale of 5.3 when UK is nowhere near any plate edges uhmm bizarre?

lucky it didn't decapitate his face

Now that is true.

Oh my dear God. There have been people on the radio in London whinging and whining about how scared they were and how they are now so scared something bad might happen. They feel psychologically shattered. :/ Seriously people, grow a ****ing backbone will ya?! It's a relatively small shake in terms of earthquakes, though quite big for UK standards - but being traumatised by it?! I mean really?!! Come on....

^ Agree.

If anything I enjoy extreme events.

Perhaps some are overreacting - but the UK is considered somewhat 'safe' from natural disasters, and people don't expect stuff like quakes to happen, so they get rattled up a little more than usual.
