Livin' the life...

"The biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across large parts of England.

People in Newcastle, Yorkshire, London, Manchester, the Midlands and Norfolk and also parts of Wales, felt the tremor just before 0100 GMT.

A man suffered leg injuries when a chimney collapsed in South Yorkshire.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre of the 5.3 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire.

Bev Finnegan, who lives in the town, said: "I was terrified to be honest. The noise was really, really terrifying... it was so deep and rumbling.

"It felt like the roof was going to fall in. There were people coming out in their dressing gowns wondering what it was. It was quite an experience. ..." (BBC News)

Well, this morning I heard people calling in to the local radio station saying that the earthquake woke them up as well. I however slept straight through! Maybe I was too tired.. Studying is a hard job you know!

Anyway, BBC News also has some video coverage of the quake and also the reaction of residents here.
