I know this is nothing for our Kiwi contingent, but they are so rare here in the UK or even Leighton Buzzard

I thought something had fallen over in my youngest daughter's room! 🤣🤣🤣

There's someone nearby with a 'power-thumper'. It is drowning out most low-level noise. Wouldn't spot an earthquake happening while it is going.
My Ego forbids a signature.

Just saw it on the news and wondered if you'd noticed it Will, which obviously you did!

Felt one when we lived a few miles from Newark.
Just made some of the pictures on the wall vibrate a bit.

Apparently there was one in Nottingham when I worked at the Evil Empire.
Didn't feel a thing downstairs, but everyone on the 3rd floor was going, "Did you feel that ?".

Glad all are ok. I've yet to feel one here in NZ, we had one east of Auckland a week or two ago, but I slept through it.

cheers

3.6 ;D ;D ;D

I hope the figures are all ok ;)

Not many earthquakes up around Auckland Sandinista, it's the volcanoes you need to watch out for there ;)

We noticed one a few years ago. Since the epicentre (as I understand it's called) was in Burma, it must have been pretty vigourous.

And another!

Okay, so who felt the earth move just after midnight then? And did you also feel the earthquake . . . :)

2.1 and it makes the news! I bet the rest of the world is laughing at us . . .

But we DO know who's responsible. ;)

If Will stops digging trenches, the size of the Grand Canyon, for his drains.....I'm sure this will stop happening.

Cheers - Phil :)

Only one more to dig, watch the news tomorrow afternoon...

We had a magnitude 3.4 North of Toledo Ohio a couple of weeks ago. The earth didn't move much where we live, but the sound was like a massive helicopter flying low overhead as everything shook. A weird experience.
