Earthquake hits Britain, 4.7 magnitude
Times Online
An earthquake hit Britain just before 1am today estimated at 4.7 on the Richter Scale.
The epicentre was around 10 miles north east of Lincoln in a village called Holton cum Beckering and the tremors were felt right across the country from London to Morcambe, Lancashire.
The US Geological Survey reported that the tremor had struck 6.2 miles underground.
Kevin Simons, 45, from Hannington near Northampton, said: “I weas lying in bed, I had been there for about an hour, and the whole house shook, the whole house was moving.
"It lasted about 45 seconds. My wife was petrified. We thought the house was coming down, I knew it was an earthquake straight away.
"It was as strong as I have ever felt anywhere and I lived on the west coast of America for four years.”
Anna Waddell was at home in Hampstead, London, with her husband and three children when the tremors struck.
She said: “The house started creaking and then the bed started shaking, it was very spooky and completely frightening.
“It was like the house was sort of coming away from itself. It was like a giant was walking about in the garden.”
The largest earthquake recorded in Britain had a magnitude of 6.1 and struck offshore in the North Sea on June 7, 1931, about 75 miles northeast of Great Yarmouth.
British earthquakes have killed 11 people since 1580. Six were killed by falling stones, two fell from upper floors, two died of shock and one committed suicide.
The country experiences a magnitude 5 earthquake on average every ten years. A magnitude 4 earthquake occurs on average every two to three years.
I thought I felt something! Honest, just sat here in my room watching a dvd, when the bed shook slightly for about 3 seconds! I thought it was just me having an overactive imagination. I’m in Surrey Quays, SE16 area…
I’m going to check the news…
RR
It’s official!

4.7 on the richter scale, and felt as far south as London… And I thought it was just the currey I’d had last night!:w00t:
I see you beat me to it with the news thing…lol:P
i crapped my self
i felt it and thought i was going giddy…
bluddy nora!!
smiled:D.
I felt nothing in North London.
global warming causing the techtonic plates to move and expand more rapidly so causing more earthquakes…exciting and very worrying…earth quakes of that scale in the UK…wow…
It was Chunky falling out of bed
How would you know that Ang,did you kick him out? 
His wife phoned to apologise for waking everyone up
:laugh:
Expand on that, cos its one of the funniest things Ive heard for a while
never heard a thing but my neighbour did, im in bedfordshire
Felt nothing, was dead to the world.
Global warming causing more earthquakes!!! That is quite possible the most bizarre thing that I have had in a long time.
Just to let you know that the UK experiences thousands of earthquakes each year, most are to small to feel, but big enough to measure.
No sense no feeling 
we felt in herts:)
I didn’t and I’m in herts, didn’t even hear the cat spazzing out, which I would have expected :ermm:
What a very British earthquake.
P*ss small, yet the news is covering it exhaustively and everyone chats about ‘shaking rooms’ ‘though it was the end of the world’ - quotes from some of the interviewees on various media - not your comments on here I add hastily…
Cue Lincolnshire reporter standing by a pile of bricks that used to be a fairly rickety old chimney…
I heard that Lincoln had been flattened - over £50 worth of damage
I wonder what the world is coming to sometimes, I really do
I felt a tremor last night too
