Earthquake (4.8) Hits UK (my house!)
I felt the need to post this..
AT 2am! :S
An earthquake hit london, wales, west midlands, liverpool, etc. at 1am today..
My whole room shook
The walls shook
The roof & roof ladder shook
My sister was screaming & I went to see if she was ok
We phoned a few friends & found out that they had felt it too.
The whole street decided to make an appearance
This was worse than the simulator earthquake ride in universal studios, fl.
4.8 is damn good for the uk :/ We never really get earthquakes & this was the worst in 10 years..
I didn't really got worried over it...but you got to remember...uk almost never feels earthquakes :/ I kept thinking all these thoughts:
*Is it a bomb (last on my list)
*Is the loft & roof giving way on me
*Is it somebody next door?
*Is it aliens! (I think too much)

no one at work has mentioned an earthquake (north london) so it cant have been noticable here - i would have noticed it since i have never experienced an earthquake before.
i've been bulking joe, its 53 1/4 inches now

I tried to get my penis measure actually, I held one end of the tape measure and said to my girlfriend tell me what the measurement is to the end of it - unfortunately her legs got too tired from all the walking so we may never know

Id not long gone to bed when it happend so I was half asleep. So my room started shaking and thought it was just some crazy ass dream, and it was like in the exorcist where the beds shaking!
It seemed so messed up it was funny and I just went to sleep.
It never even crossed my mind that it was an earthquake till I saw it on the news this morning.
p.s I live in the midlands
