Yeah, don't think it caused anyone any damage. Just got really scared right there haha. That's a high reading for this country. Really odd. Not good.

I only felt it because I was lying still and in quiet.

it lasted about 5 or 6 seconds where i am, and i thought it was a jugganought going past, then i realised there was no lorry outside at all, otherwise i wud have heard it, then i thought my body was shutting itself down, cos my legs started shaking uncontrollably, and then i wen to to tell me mum, who was in bed, and we heard some1 on the radio talking about it! This is weird!

yeah, we seem to be fine, ppl have been going outside to see if anyone else felt it, and all the animals around us were squaking and howling!

Oh my days this is so random!
Hope everyone is ok though.

listening to sky news, no one seemss to have been hurt or anything, just a few things falling off shelves and stuff!

Yeh thats what my mate said.
Her 5 year old sister woke up crying. Gosh it must have been a scare!

certainly was, ive never felt anything like that!

Me neither. Just sat bolt upright and MSN was flashing with "the attic just shook". I thought you were taking the mick man.

Rang Martha who was very angry because I woke her up and after saying she hoped it was not an atom bomb promptly went back to sleep.

The Epicentre of the earthquake was in dudley , and was 4.8 on the ritcher scale . So if know one heres of gavin we know why . Im 15 miles from there and i never felt a think , mind you once i hit the pillow , NOTHING wakes me up
