I should have felt it! Must have been a very small one as nothing fell over in our kitchen (we have lots of long narrow things standing on end)

IMO more of a wiimote rumble of my bed for like 15 seconds than anything.

kwl. What where about was it??

I'l probley discuss this in geography in the next lesson

english so lucky

it was a rubbish earthquake!

5.3 is the strongest UK has ever had... XD

Epicentre was in Lincolnshire somewhere :/ I never felt it, i was asleep

yeh, bt its not exactly huge. no1 died....not a lot bad really happened.

the ricter scale isnt even used by proffesionals to measure earthquakes anyway

No, its got some new fancy name...

Ricter scale is still go though coz people can visulaise it... 5 is 10 times less powerful than 6, thats ten times less than 7 etc... It makes sense D

yes, but scientists dont like things that make sense

Yeah we do O.o

Things that dont make sense means we have to change things to make them make sense

O.o Thats confusing

no, because scientists always feel the need to prove/disprove everything, when most normal ppl dnt even really care (makes no sense to me whatsoever)

apparentally Women can feel earth quakes better than Men!!! and my sister's university (york uni) shook bad for 15 seconds

No, not ever, just in the last 30 years or so.

I was up at 1am and didn't feel a thing. The subwoofer was probably creating more vidbrations (not on that high, but I rest my feet on/next to it).

Uh, I was under the impression that 5.6 was the highest the UK had ever had. :/

A quick Google search reveals that this was 5.3, the strongest since 1984, when we had 5.4. I am unable to find out about any earlier quakes, though.

I was up till 1:30 and i felt absolutly nothing at all (yes im in art again XD, my 4 lessons day has gone dwn to 2 lessons XD)

It's strange, actually, I never feel Earthquakes, but my family seems to feel them.

Maybe me and you have a protection force feild :/ lol

Nah, I just don't really feel them. Don't know why, I guess I subconsciously shrug them off.

mmm Force field idea sounds cooler XD

so where actually was the earthquake?.. im too lazy to read papers

Market Rasen in Lincolnshire
