The blurb from the USGS site had it at 4.7 so I imagine that is the accurate magnitude.

 

I wonder why there's a discrepancy, the USGS say 4.7 whilst the BGS say 5.2 :unsure:

Didn't BGS outsource their monitoring last year? It may just be a language problem.

Well I slept through it all, more or less. Apparently our dog, Gromitt, was sleeping on Chris's couch in his bedroom when it happened, he climbed onto Chris's bed and stuck his nose in Chris's face for a little reassurance that all was OK, but Chris waved him off so he decided to come down to us and wormed his way onto our bed between us and hid there. :o:unsure: obviously feeling safe there

I awoke some time about 5-00 am to find him on his back with his feet in the air and snoring like a herd of pigs. :rolleyes: (the dog was snoring not Chris :lol: ) he's quite a noisy snorer at times. :rolleyes:

I knew something had happened during the night but put it down to either wind or rain, but on reaching the kitchen and putting on the radio, all the talk was about the earth quake.

 

It's taken nearly all day for poor ole Gromm to calm down he's been well agitated.

They are great fun when you are at the top of a high rise building! They seem to last longer too, but I guess that is because the top of the building moves a lot more than the ground floor! :o

One of my favourite websites! :D

 

We had an "earthquake" here in Michigan once when I was about 8 years old. Since Michigan is one of the most geoligically-stable ponts in North America, it was interesting and exciting. I was sitting in the back room of the shop when everything bounced with a huge, muffled "BOOM." Everything on my desk bounced once, the whole place rattled, and everything outside the window seemed to carry on as normal. Of course, being a little kid, I forgot about it all in about 10 minutes, and, since my Dad wasn't worried, I didn't think about it again for I don't know how long. Only much later did I learn that we'd felt the tremors from a quake that probably knocked a few dishes over closer to Missouri. Everybody here in Michigan just thought it was underground explosions from sewer work or something. I think about it a lot more now that I'm studying Geology. :D
