3.8 according to the BEEB.

Yeah, it's now looking like 3.8, epicenter in Oakham, just 10 miles from me.

Not on there yet...

In west London and felt nothing, it it was under Bedford and it was a 3.8 (Significant in UK terms) it's odd we didn't feel anything.

Waits for someone to blame it on fracking.

Yep, and the epicentre was right underneath where I work. I left at 6, didn't feel it 5 miles away.
