Haha, just felt a minor earthquake in the north-east

never felt one before, I thought it was just me. Shat myself because I thought the builders who are doing the flat above me might've weakened a pillar or somethin

4.7 on the richter scale, is that pathetic?

Earthquakes can be pretty fucking scary. Last one I felt destroyed half of LA(better luck next time eh?). Don't feel em that often up here in the North East though. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

I was fast asleep, several of my friends and collegues have told me it woke them up with their room shaking for 10 seconds or so, but i'm a heavy sleeper.

I'm glad we all survived.
