oh wow! It was the middle of the night, just before 1 and I woke from a deep sleep, confused. I didn't know what had awoken me. I got out of bed, to go and check on the kids. There was a deep rumbling (sound). It got louder and then faded away. It sounded like a lorry going down the road, but no lorry I've ever heard; at the same time I started to shake - I suppose so did the house - as if someone had taken me by the shoulders and was shaking me firmly. A few things fell of the shelf. When the rumbling had faded and I had stopped shakings (a matter of moments), I looked out of the window, but the street was quiet and peaceful, no cars, or lorries or people. Hubby and I checked all about the house but couldn't find anything to explain the phenomenon, but both knowing that we hadn't imagined it. I expected to wake to the news of a huge bomb explosion or earthquake this morning, and I was right. I just didn't expect it to be so close to home!
"The biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across large parts of England.....The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the earthquake was of the magnitude of 5.3 and the epicentre was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. "
