I was just going to bed and heard what sounded like people running round in the loft. I just put it down to the resident ghost & went to sleep!

How come they always happen at night?! I think it's a government conspiracy, testing new bombs or something lol

I did wake up at 1am but think it was just a coincidence as wasn't aware of anything unusual (though I am quite far south).

I thought it was the neighbour's scaffolding coming down after all the battering with the high winds, the wife wasn't too impressed with the immortal words " did the earth move for you darling ?"

[PDR]

It woke me up... the bed was shaking for about 5 seconds or so.

Was felt as far as here apparently, but I slept through it.

[Slugsie]

I was just drifting off to sleep, wasn't sure what was going on for a few seconds.

[bensonsnuts]

Yep , I felt it up here

[Growler]

Felt it here too at around 00:58 this morning

2nd one we've had now

[captain_chaos]

They'll probably blame it on the 4x4 user. "Excessive ground vibrations from having an oversized and impracticle vehicle, leading to an increase in earthquakes"
