    Default An Earthquake? In England?

    The whole building just shook. I'm up working late, and I thought my head must be spinning, but people around felt it too. Apparently on the top floor the chairs moved and someone on the phone to London said they felt it there too!

    Crazy stuff.

    You heard it here first.


    PS
    Obviously it's not a serious earthquake, but still, the building shook for a good few seconds. Amazing!

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Wow, that's kinda cool. So long as it doesn't become a major one anyway...

    Woah. Glad you're okay, man. We had a mild quake like that out in rural Minnesota (where I used to live before moving to Minneapolis) several years back, so I know the feeling!

    I felt it too, although I originally thought it was a dream until I read this thread. The entire room was shaking and a exceptionally loud roar was audible. A few of the less stable ornaments fell off my the window sill. It was in a way terrifying, even though I was half asleep. It then gradually stopped, but there still was a very light tremor still moving the earth ever so very slightly.

    I live about twelve miles south of the epicentre though, so I'm more likely to get a little more of the shock than you southerners.

    Meh... that's nothin... it's like a bump in the road.
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
