Bedroom started to shake it woke us All up , it gave me the W***ies

[Smick]

My wife felt the bedroom shake causing her to wake up last night so she gave me a nudge and told me to wake up as my snoring was really annoying her.

[ULP]

Didn't feel, hear or see anything.

Marie was in Nottinghamshire last night and awoke thinking the world was disappearing up George Bushes bottom...

The earth moved for us in Blackpool :eek:

House shook and low rumbling sound, very scary but no alarm madness

[Emm]

Britian on Tsunami alert lol

I missed it personally, but is it repeated on UK Earth +1?

I blame the Muslims and Asylum Seekers, it must be there fault.

Haha.. very funny :)

I woke up, wondered what it was, then went back to sleep :p

[chucknaldo]

I felt it too in Nottingham. Scary stuff!

[wooly A2]

Do you think it will be safe for me to continue
watching my Resident Evil film Know LOL !!!!

Apparently other people round here were awoken by it so I must be a heavy sleeper (pretty impressive as I'm often awake before the radio kicks-in at 6am - quality not quantity).

No evidence of my DIY falling to bits, so it can't have been too-bad :D

I heard the rumblings here in Oxford so it travelled far! I was awake ish because of little one. It is just as news has reported it, a massive lorry or aircraft thundering along..... scared me....... for a moment .......then fell back to sleep!

Made an impact here in Milton Keynes too!!

Around 12:55am... I awoke disorientated to what sounded like thunder and a vibration that shook the house for 5 to 10 seconds or so!!

Didn't manage to fall back to sleep again until around 02:30am though... :(

Even reached us in Hereford. Started at 1 am.
An old oil lamp (purely decorational) was rattling and all the cats looked around, I thought it was a car going past our house.
P.S. Why are we all up at one o'clock in the morning!

[bye_bye_alfa]

We live 20-25 miles from the epi-centre... I awoke to find the bed shaking, thinking someone was stood either side vigourously shaking it.
You're right about it giving you the willies!
I lept out of bed, and had a look around... being partially asleep, I couldn't figure out WTF had just happened.

10 minutes later, all the birds started chirping...

Weird or what...

bba

the earth moved here in east manchester too, strangely the high winds we have been having stopped then restarted shortly afterwards, it was funny looking out over the back and seeing all the bedroom light coming on, people must have been wondering what the feck was happening

Had the same experience living in Japan. Our flat was on the 7th floor so the shaking got amplified by the building. Remember waking up petrified, with everything rattling (nothing ever broke). Once I could swear the walls and ceiling were getting out of square. After that one tends to sleep badly for a few weeks, before forgetting the incident. The best thing was that almost immediately after, re-runs of the quake as filmed by the cameras at the TV newsrooms would be shown on TV, along with charts pinpointing the epicentre.
