UK Earthquake Damage - latest reports

[mufferrs]

when did this happen

[Darkwolfgirl107]

Oh my GOD! I remeber this, this woke me up. Man, i felt the bed shaking, i heard a massive thumping noise, something rumbling and i saw my cat running up the road in speed XD it was approxamently around 1.00ish. But my step mum burst into my room shouting "ARE YOU OKAY?!!" and i thought i just had a nightmare for some reson. Then the next morining i was told it was a pritty BIG earthquake and i was all like OMG!!!! 0_0!!

[akidnamedmikey]

haha that wasnt even a big quake and it caused lots of damage...

[author]

Having never been in the UK, I didn't know they had earthquakes there. But now I know.

[Spikavian]

We have at least 300 a year but most of them are too faint to feel :P

[runescaper0ck5]

hello

[swifty17uk]

actual epicenter was like in the field near my house in market reason :D

thank god i slept through it :P

[orchardparkcrew]

the rest of the world can fuck off, Let them die or starve i don't care. The Uk goverment should look after us before handing OUR tax payers money out to Other countries.

[cookingfoxter]

we get jack shit in the UK the odd puff of wind smattering of snow and the odd flood.Total damage(a couple of chimney stacks and one bloke with injured leg.Its not that i wish harm to folk but it would be cool to get something worth putting on the news from time to time.And why o why when owt does happen do the news crews get the biggest numpties in the UK to interview.(sorry to the rest of the world we are not all like that...ta ta

[orchardparkcrew]

When are Pakistan and other countries who suffer earthquakes that WE BRITISH send money to going to send money to support us. Next time an appeal goes out to help an Earthquake hit country I'll tell them to fuck off. Where was our help????

[Sukotsuto]

That's because us Brits aren't pathetic enough to ask for "international aid" to help replace the odd toppled chimney pot.

Comparing a 7.7 earthquake which killed 74,000 people in a third world country with a 4.7 earthquake which rattled a window in one of the worlds richest country is frankly ridiculous.

[orchardparkcrew]

this country is in the shit, The Nhs, schools the police need i go on? Why should we help any other country?

[Sukotsuto]

Yeah, but that's not because we can't afford it, it's because of government mismanagement, but still, trying to compare a 4.7 earthquake in which a few people were woken up in bed with a 7.7 earthquake which killed tens of thousands is still ridiculous, even more ridiculous is expecting a country such as Pakistan to send aid to Britain to help with... what exactly? I hope people around the world don't think us Brits are weak like that.

[deniz05]

guys your all funny just red the comments yea i am from turkey i live in the uk so this i never thought that it would happen in the uk but coolit wasnt that strong if some people enjoyed the experience come to turkey lol

[zainthepwnerer]

why are we all fucking crying as if we've just been hit by an asteroid. It's 5.1 on a richter scale people get over it . Countries like Japan get them 8 +

[Nenatone]

Funny that... All the women seem to of enjoyed the earthqwake...

[Darkblooded16]

:/ 4,7 is nothing... thats not a big earthquake come to greece and you will learn what a big earthquake is like :) peace

[whisperycat]

Expect higher prices in the chip shops as fish catches plummet. All that shaking and vibration, they don't like it when you tap on the tank in Seapets, never mind 4.7 on the Richter scale. It's probably scared them half way across the North sea by now.

[BoGeYeZ]

[sstruffle]

[00609994]

Mine is the funniest one. I was watching a movie and the sad part of it the earthquake happened. I didnt know that was I crying because of the earthquake or the movie. However, for a second I thought that the building was gone a come down.

[DavidTL]

Yeah, I live next to Nottingham. It was mad. I woke up to this deep, almost roaring sound and the whole room was shaking. Afterwards it was pretty unsettled too.

[punkfunkjunk]

Sure was bonkers... We've had tremors in Notts before, but this was something else...I was hoping the roof wasnt about to fall in on me.. LOL

[dusk33]

I live Cheshire and was playing on my Xbox which was full of demons and stuff and I thought that 'cos I also have a ouija board in my room that something dark and sinister had been summoned to my room. My bed shook violently and I'm not light, it lifted the top of my bed up and I slid down my mattress.

For a heavy gal I've NEVER ran so fast down those bleedin' stairs in my life. I only found out that it was a quake this morning. I actually find that more terrifying than a Poltegeist after all!

[tobyjug48]

I was watching underworld on film four, brilliant special effects... I felt em in the living room

[7Luker7]

I was sleeping like dead when it happened... :|

[jalal1900]

i hope you have just money or bulding damage not humain damage

[fishchipsmushypeas]

I thought the gates of hell were opening for me and it was Dooms day. I fell to my hands and knees begging for forgiveness. It was only a false alarm. And Im not keeping any of my promises about going to to church every sunday, giving money to the poor and being kind always. It was just a false alarm.

[stickmasterDX]

MY BED SHOOK LIKE A TRAIN

[bagpus]

I live in Hull and the entire house was shaking the noise sounded like a train passing through!......crazy experience. How anyone slept through that ill never know!

[DharokDX]

lol i did i live in a villiage near york. The shock wasn't bad but it did shake the earth for 10secs. Some of my friends woke up and some of my friends slept through it.

[c2iabsence]
