oh wow, glad to hear everyone is ok

here is a map of the tectonic plates if anyone is interested--> http://www.iris.edu/seismon/imgs/plates.gif

Like Roog said, they happen in strange places, but they're normally very small on the Richter(sp?) scale. They happen all the time! we just can't feel them

I've decided to make it official... the West country sucks for not having anything cool happen.

Move back to Yorkshire!

And to those of you who slept through it; you must be really heavy sleepers. Do any of you remember the earthquake we had in 2002? I slept through that one, but my mum said that it was only a small one compared to this one, and that it only lasted a matter of around 3 seconds.

Something Happened in my home town,

Half of a house crumbled down to the floor 2 hours before the earthquake.

It was either god making things very ironic
or
The house wanted to get a head start
or
Just plain coincidence XD.

No-one was hurt and the rest of the house is planned for controlled demolition. Lucky they had insurance XD.

earthquakes happen in some odd places you wouldn't expect them...such as along the Mississippi river and New York.

Yeah, we do; but very minor near 100% of the time! Y'all Westerners get all the great quakes.



Hope everyone is o.k...
