I did~! Why are the US Geological Survey confirming it? Unless US doesn't stand for United States ¬_¬

Because it's pretty easy to triangulate the origin of a significant earthquake from anywhere on the planet, especially for Europe which is not seismically very active.

Anyone else feel anything about 5/10 mins ago? I'm in Cumbria and my whole house just shook, it's all over facebook.

How bad was it?

I am amazed there haven't been more people making jokes about it them making the earth move from their bed or something like that.

Anyway I am in London and have felt nothing.

This is quite funny as I'd just watched the Mock the Week episode on BBC2 where they were talking about how unlikely/ineffective earthquakes were in the UK.

Me too, the whole thing about Earthquake training and how it was pointless!

The USGS operates internationally - they're not just confined to earthquakes and volcanoes in the US.

End of the world proposed 21/12/12

Coincidence much?

Earthquakes have nothing to do with the weather.

There was a small earthquake here a few years back. Lasted for about 15 seconds and made one tile fall off our roof :biggrin:

I was in bed falling asleep, felt the floor/bed shaking and heard pipes rattling and quite a loud rumbling.. went on for about 3-5 seconds where I was. Dad thought the boiler had exploded, and my Facebook feed was filled with 50 or so earthquake-related posts within about a minute haha ^^
