Have you ever felt the Earth move?

[mikeyb]

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 :D

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.

Mike, file that under a little too much information there, me thinks !

Boxing Day in Dumfries, about 15 years ago or so.

It was a weird feeling.

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.

I forget exactly when it was , but in the 80's there was a small quake out in the Irish sea , around 9-10 in the morning !!
I had had a very heavy session on the beer, the previous night, and I was running a bucket of hot water for the dairy wash cycle.

The bloody tap and copper pipe to it, started to pulse and vibrate under my touch :rolleyes: , and as th4e good lady was outside on the concrete yard , I was about to shout ' The taps throbbing ,whats up with it??' but I thought no , no , :doh: she gonna think I have the hangover of all hangovers !!
Twas only later in the day I twigged it was about the time of this tremor :lol:

But the old boys who cut peat on the Whixall Moss 3000 acres of peat bog , nearly sharted themselves because apparently the peat shook like putting a toy soldier on a jelly and shaking it :)
Frightened one or 2 rigid !!

was a big one at the Llyn peninsula in 1984 that was felt all over wales and many other places.. might have been that

[Macca]

There was one in the late 'Eighties, epicentre in North Wales. I was at college, sat in the kitchen of our 'hut' and the whole place started to shake quite violently, pots and pans clanging together. I thought a truck had hit the building. In this country an earthquake is the last thing you think of as the cause.

might have been the llyn one.. it epicentred on llyn but its biggest effect was liverpool

[Macca]

There was one earlier in the '80s when I was at school in Liverpool. That was at about 0800 on a weekday morning. Was still in bed and the whole thing started shaking. Thought my mother was shaking the bed to get me up for school.

My father went to LA just after they had that big earthquake when there were freeways that had collapsed and suchlike. He was staying at the Hyatt (or similar) and his room was on the 20th floor. After a couple of days he remarked to the receptionist that his floor seemed very quiet. Turned out they were not putting anyone in rooms above the tenth floor in case of aftershocks and my old man had somehow slipped through the net.

Last night, I did a big fart. So perhaps I'm the culprit :D

I was doing a night dive off the beach at Nuweiba on the Sinai peninsula many years ago. Didn't feel anything but it sounded like someone was inside of a big freighter and was banging on the hull with the mother of all sledgehammers. When we emerged from the sea and found everyone running around screaming, we realised what was going on!

[alphaGT]

We had a short quake near my house, the ground started to vibrate, and it sounded just like a large truck was close to the house. But then it suddenly got worse, and I shouted, "this is an earthquake!", and then it was over. It knocked things off of store shelves, very minor.
