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! 🤣🤣🤣
Nowt here though, from a proper part of the island
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.
Just saw it on the news and wondered if you'd noticed it Will, which obviously you did!
I thought something had fallen over in my youngest's bedroom...
Only time i very felt an earthquake I was on the 10th floor of the then JM centre on Old Hall St in central Liverpool :'(
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 ?".
Cheers - Phil
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! (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-54146725)
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...

:-SS
Good luck mate...
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.

What have you been up to now Will?! :-w
His house DIY is probably fracking in disguise, hence the earthquakes ;) :D.
Two here today, 3.0 and 2.1. Definitely felt the first one.
No, no more trenches being dug...
Well, once you've fractured the earth to it's core, a second trench seems superfluous... X_X
;)
After a hard day of DIY, it had better not trigger another one!
Shed roof rebuilt!!!
Well I know whom to blame if there is a quake ;) ;D.
Well, if it had been Today at 0730, it might have been Me... up and outside with the Drain Rods! :'(
Does anyone else think that that:
Gloop! Gloop! GGUURRGGLE! Bahh!
Is strangely 'satifying' in an "Oh! Yuck! NOT again!" way? :o ;D
I now live in an earthquake region - Groningen province in Nederland. Already felt one.
Hm. Was just thinking on 'stuff' the other day... and remembering the Dutch 'land' reclamation from the Sea...back in ... 60s/70s. I was a child then.
How do people 'Feel' about 'Living' in an area that MUST be under long term threat from possible rising sea levesl?
Are the coastal defences being continually built up?
Suppose same applies to other areas, worldwide... UK Fens, Thames Barrage, USA, Pacific...etc. ?
I would not like it, but I suppose people just get on with life?
Just Curious?

Definitely a satisfying sound !......Clearing the pipe under the drive of leaves, isn't even yukky. ;D ;D ;D
(The pipe to to septic tank isn't (Ahem) quite so pleasant to clear........But throwing buckets of hot water down that, usually does the trick. ;)
Cheers - Phil. :)
Why is this thread a 'sticky'?
Better than a shaky!!!

Well, in My case, because of Drain Rods... :'( ;D
3.9 !

Bet they haven't done THAT next to an LCS! ;D
Ouch!
I saw that yesterday.....It is rather impressive.
Cheers - Phil. :)
