This was posted in the early hours in a UK forum to which I belong........... Quote: ****, has anybody else just had an earth tremor?, I have never been so frightened in my life.
It started like a distant train, then got louder, the whole building shook, the power dimmed.
All over in about 10/20 seconds.
I am physically shaking. The poster lives about 30 miles from the epicentre.
Same poster this morning. Quote: Well, the only damage that I have found so far, is a crack in the hall ceiling, and a few tins of paint fallen from a shelf in the garage.
I am honestly amazed there doesn't seem to be more damage.
For those of you that slept through it, you are very lucky, I don't ever want to experience anything like that again.
The best way that I can describe it is, it was like a distant train that as it approaches, gets louder, kind of like thunder, together with the whole building shaking violently, lights dimming, then all over in about 10/15 seconds. I honestly thought that the building was going to collapse.
Scary, very scary.
