wow. i dunno, earthquakes are tricky devils. i live on a huge faultline and know that when the next big one hits here i could easily die in my house, but we get at least one a year... the joys of california.

congrats to all who felt it!

I live in Oakham, about 20 miles north(ish) of Leicester. I was asleep in bed when I was sort of aware of my bed moving. At 1am mum walked to the bathroom and asked "Did you fell that?" as she walked past my door. Think I just grunted and went back to sleep. When I woke up at 6am, I thought to myself "Was there an earthquake last night, or did I just dream it?". It wasn't until I'd got my breakfast and put the tv on that I realised what had actually happened. Why couldn't it happen in the evening when I was awake?

Paul.

They said something like 10,000 people called the police, what did they expect the police could do!?

It was around quarter past 12 at nigth and i was asleep and i woke up to see what the noise was i got out of bed and couldn't stand up straight. i thought i was pissed, as i'd had a few bevarages and some paracetomol, and the following morning they said it was a earthquake. crumbs said i

I was lying in bed listening to 5 live. The programme was coming from Birmingham and the people in the studio started on about the building shaking. I didn't think much to it, then a second later the house starts shaking... scared the bloody crap out of me!!

I was in a caravan in Lecister and didn't feel a bloody thing. However my sister was at home and said everything was falling off the shelves, she was by herself and petrified. Can't believe I missed it, I'm waiting excitedly for aftershocks.

I was struggling to fall sleep after watching a disturbing David Lynch film a few hours ealier (Mullhuddon Drive - very strange film. Not much of a plot - typical of Mr. Lynch I suppose). Suddenly, I heard a loudening rumbling sound coming from the corridor from which my bedroom leads off.

Sitting up very quickly, I was in time to see the 4.8 tremor struggle through each of my possessions: rattling my bed, rustling my Homer Simpson poster, and rocking that hanging plastic bat on my ceiling which has been gathering dust and cobwebs for the past 5 years.

30 seconds of silence, and I was left with a slowly creaking chest of drawers, I tried to convince myself what had just happened hadn't been a figment of my imagination. Once deciding it hadn't been, I considered what could have caused such a movement of matter.

I came to the conclusion that a nuclear bomb had exploded in London, caused by some eastern organisation. Quickly wondering how this might affect me, I foolishly studied my hands, and clutched my face, fearing to find some abnormality caused by the radiation given out by such a blast (You must realise that this was 1am on a Monday morning, and I was not in a fit state to make any quick logically conclusions). Lying back into my bed I slowly turned my head to glance at my bed side alarm clock.

Turning it on, I would just like to say that I have never found the Dreem Team so reassuring...
