    Default Have you ever felt the Earth move?

    Well, last night for a couple of seconds my wife and I did, bloody weird feeling your bed move rocking from side to side, but with no sound, which is of course due to the fact that everything moved in unison.

    We're a good bit away from the epicenter but still felt it.

    The fact that it happened a minute after we'd had nookie is unfortunately, purely coincidental

    I can only imagine how scary it must have been in Kos and Turkey etc for that couple of seconds here, it was seriously strange.

    Yes we had a small earthquake in Yorkshire a few years ago. I was in bed and it just felt like someone banged the bed.

    I was walking across quite a long suspension road bridge in Spain when the whole thing just swayed by about a foot.
    Very weird sensation.
    Nope, I would not like to be mixed up in a big one.

    Yes bridges move a fair bit. We used to stand with one foot on each carriageway as a big truck went by and see one foot move dramatically with repect to the other. It is a weird feeling.

    Not sure where the quake was, could have been Yorkshire and around 5 years ago ? I was woken by a noise and then the bed was moving for a few seconds. I sat up, realised it wasn't a dream and thought it was a 'haunting'. Couldn't think what it could have been and went back to sleep. It was the news the next day, which explained it was a quake.

    Told my wife right after it happened that it was an earthquake, can't imagine how scary it must be caught in one near it's centre.

    I have been in quite a few actually, it does fill weird and scary and what I have noticed is that just before it happens every thing is dead silent like your the only one left on the planet , if your wondering Ha as if well that island KOS IT JUST HIT is my HOME TOWN were I was born and raised in, so let's just say I have had my fair share . That building which collapsed and killed 2 people is a BAR called white corner , I used to work next door as a barman for many years I now all the people that work around bar street and after contacting a few they are devastated at what has happened and their hearts go out to the families Of the 2 people that lost their life's there.
