Earthquake??

Apparently, there was an Earthquake in the UK?? O_O 

Y'all British Buddies okay over there?

I didn't know until you posted this, so I went to check and it was a fairly big one for us, but no real damage reported yet.

It's not that uncommon. I've only experienced one, though. It must have been about fifteen years ago and Mum, Peter and I were out building a pond in the garden (it was a phase and we had to do it while Dad was away -- this was our forth) and we were merrily digging away on a day that was so still that it was remarkable, and then a piece of fence just went plop and fell down flat. Then nothing. We all exchanged puzzled looks, but it wasn't till later when we saw the news that we realised what had happened: an earthquake. We always do things quietly, lol.

I should add that the pond was distinguished by the name The Earthquake Pond.

4.7 earthquakes are fairly mild as far as earthquakes go... I've been through worse. As you already know... ^^;

Shaken but not stirred, thanks. Woke us up at one in the morning and shook the house quite a bit, but no damage done. We're, thankfully, not used to them here, and couldn't quite work out what was going on for a few sleepy seconds.

The cat opened one eye while we were going round checking for damage and carried on snoring...

XD My dad sent me an email about it, he was so excited that it was close to his hometown. In the email, he literally pointed out that they quoted someone from Nottingham.

XDDD Made me laugh. Miss home much, dad?
