All Shook Up - Earthquake Report

Well what a night!
Just before 1 am I was woken by the earthquake. I had felt one before (Iwas near Dudley for the one that happened there in 2002) but this one was more powerful by far. Both my parnets had woken up and most of our street seemed to head out to find out what was going on.

I headed downstairs to see if there was any information on the News - Sky had reports coming in from about 1.05am - but BBC News 24 didn't show any news of it until nearly 1.30. After finding out the earthquake had its epicentre near Market Rasen - I was shocked as tits only about 20 miles from me. I also receieved a text from a friend who lived near Market Rasen saying how strong it was.

It is worrying to think that a little over 15 miles from me was the epicentre of the strongest earthquake to hit the UK in over 20years.

I have been listening to the local radio this morning and a geological expert was being interviewed and he said that a similar strength of earthquake with its epicentre roughly in the same place happened back in 1185. This earthquake brought down most of Lincoln Cathedral!

On a lighter note, two of my friends were celebrate their third anniversary together last night, they were too busy to notice the earthquake as they were making their own - information I really didn't need to know guys lol!
