About 1am our workshop moved slightly. There are reports of earth tremors all over the UK.

What actually happened was a tectonic plate shift 15km (10 miles) under Lincolnshire countryside (70 miles away from here). Although it measured 4.7-5.2 on the Richter scale, being that far underground, it didn't cause severe damage, but along with the high winds probably was the final straw for a Barnsley chimney which fell and injured a sleeping child. ------------- That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps |

Hi Graham, I saw it on the morningnews on TV.
Glad it wasn't too bad, mostly people were shocked and surprised, as I understand it.
Good luck, Han ------------- TecnoDec/RB250/MP110>GramAmp2C/PSU1; Cyrus CD8SE; > Exposure 3010S2D INT > Harbeth C7ES-3 '35th Anniversary' cabling: IC 2x DNM V3; LScable Exposure DMF-two; Furu TP60 + MWaY and BlackCable pc's |

I woke up to the bed shaking, notice the phrase 'woke up' do you actually sleep these days Graham? |

I was rudely awakened at 1.00 am by a massive bang followed by the whole house shaking amazingly. My wife slept serenely on ( she wears ear plugs because she claims I snore ! ) so I felt it only right to wake her so she could share my fear ! My 16 year old daughter also slept through it!
No damage found yet. We are about 30 miles or so from the epicentre!
Adrian.
