I was awake, in bed, and never felt a thing. My brother was on the computer, never felt a thing. The rest of West London felt it all.

I was still up and on the computer and never felt anything here in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Strangely others from this area felt it and said it shook their house / bed etc...

I didnt feel anything either. I live in south west Essex.

What did the wife say Ron? "Did the earth move for you darling?"

Notts felt the quake we all were woken up with a lot of noise and then a very large shudder.

My bed as never quivered quite like that.

But somehow we just knew what it was.

My sister in law in Scotland felt the shake as well.

Ian you must give yourself a break from the computer.

Ron wife must have been having a nice dream

I didn't feel it but Debbie did. We don't live far from where the epicentre was so really I have no excuse for not waking up. I'm surprised she didn't think it was just my stomach rumbling again.
