Yeah, it woke me up. Wardrobes in my room started shaking.

Earthquakes are no biggie, when they happen here you just hold on to something then when its done you proceed with the day as nothing happened.

It's 1 AM there? What are you guys doing on here? Go to bed!



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Felt ot here near Leicester. I've felt a few earthquakes before but this one was definately the strongest. They're so rare here I didn't know what it was at first, I looked out of my window for an overturned lorry or exploded gas pipe or something.



1 am is when late afternoon TV starts in England vagabond. We are a backwards country.



Its 2.30am now, and the reason we are awake is quite obvious. (We just had a fairly big Earthquake, in fact one of the biggest Earthquakes in the UK history).

I just read that buildings in the UK tend to colapse at around 5 on the richter scale. This was 4.7!



 

I actually thought it was some big prank being played on me at first (I'm in student halls) until everyone came out of their roomsto chat about it.
