Exclamation Earthquake

Yes, that really was just an earthquake, albeit a minor one. Felt through a large part of England it seems from reports elsewhere (though no mention on Sky or BBC yet). I think that's actually the first one I've ever felt (or at least known I've felt).

Was really weird as I could feel the chair and desk shaking at somewhere around 1Hz and couldn't quite work out what was going on.

I felt it too, came online to see if anyone else felt it. My 2nd one now, much bigger than the first (which was barely a quake at all).

Jesus Christ, that just woke us up! How bloody surreal. Everything was shaking for a good couple of seconds. Couldn't hear any house alarms or anything going off though, so wondered if we'd imagined it for a second.
