I was in bed watching tv when suddenly I heard a loud rumbling noise and the bed started to shake and jump around the room. It was bizarre I could only think that it was a poltergeist! went online and eventually discovered it was an earthquake. Thank heaven!!!!

I was watching the film Underworld and thought that a vampire had got me as my chair shook and I felt a thud through my feet, I must have gone white.

didnt hear a thing. i always miss the good stuff. never mind ill wait for the next 1 in about 30 yrs..........

I thought i was being burgled but instead of investigating I just rolled over and tried to get back to sleep!! Good job I hadnt been burgled I wouldnt be able to forgive myself for ignoring it. It was 1am afterall and I was a little dozy, naturally!

I live in Barton upon Humber, not too far from the epicentre of the quake. I was in my bedroom on the internet, at about one o`clock in the morning I heard a loud rumble, first I thought it was someone banging hard at the front door. But when I stood up to go investigate I realised that it wasn`t the front door that was making a noise, it was the wardrobe doors, the bedroom door and anything else not fastened down. My first thought were that a plane had come down close by, I looked out of the front and back bedroom windows but could see no smoke or fire, next I thought it could have been the Oil Refineries at Killingholme gone up. Luckily it was just an earth quake and not many people were hurt. Sure as ****** made me jump though, lol...
