Never had an earthquake before? -.-

My first one was when I was 5, kindergarten we were reading books.

Anyway we have small ones all the time. :p

I still remember the one in 1985, I was 13 years old at the time......scared the heck out of me.  I didn't want to go to school that day :o

I didn't feel that one last night though, weird really, everyone else seems to have felt it ::)

Regards.

DJM.

I have only experienced one earthquake here in Ã…lesund,think it was last year or the year before. At first I thought it was thunder but then I realised that the house was shaking :D
It was only about 4 on Richters scale

I live in Hull, about 30 miles from the epicentre and didn't feel or hear a thing. It woke my partner though... and I didn't even notice her get up which is very strange :)

Nothing down on the Southcoast. Some of my family and clients in the Midlands felt it. One has a crack in the wall of their factory, but nothing dreadful.

I remeber the one in 1985. Quite a thud around here.

Stiil, in the scale of things this was small stuff. Big for the UK, since get virually none.

Depends how close you were to the epicentre. Here in Norfolk we were a fair way from the earthquake so we got the 'after effect' so to speak  :)
