Supergrunch Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ...What? Erm...both those posts are mine :p Yeah, realised that just after posting. *wonders if earthquake is valid excuse for not having done supervision work*
Slaggis Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I reckon the epicenter was somewhere close to here (the midlands) I was pretty sure a rolling wave of matter was coming my way There are 1000 GCSE geography teachers with classes on tomorrow going nuts right now - THIS IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE AT KOBE! lmao! Oh No! I have my boring geography A-level teacher tomorrow. He drones on and on about the dangers of the natural enviroment. Sleeping will be had.
Nintendohnut Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah, realised that just after posting. *wonders if earthquake is valid excuse for not having done supervision work* Definitely. Awww I'm so disappointed I missed this! Seriously! Can't believe that tremors avoid me

Guest Jordan Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Maps/10/0_55.php It started near Hull by the looks of things.
Haver Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 the epicenter was nowhere near it seems!
Nintendohnut Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm The actual BBC new story
Tphi Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 BBC News 24: Tremors felt as far apart as Darlington in the North, and London in the South. I'm in Norfolk, everyone in our house just felt it. Rumbling like a car was idling outside for about thirty seconds, before the house shook for about ten seconds. Weird!
Shorty Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Maps/10/0_55.php It started near Hull by the looks of things. IS that red square the epicentre? That's right by Grimsby! I live there! Well... when I'm not at uni....
dazzybee Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 You see that star on that pic? Where it all started? WELL THAT'S WHERE I LIVE!?!?!?!?!??!!??!
Haver Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 interesting for web nerds: look at the two most read stories on the BBC right now for england
dazzybee Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Right, script finished, I'm off to bed. Hope that's all the excitement over, I've got an all day workshop to run tomorrow in a school ZZZZzzzzzzzzz
Haver Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 well, 2 and 3 now. traffic going to old, similar stories.
Domstercool Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Ahh that missing girl, that's the next town to me
AeroScap Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 For goodness shakes!! (haha) I thought it was a bowel movement for the first 4 secs!! XD
Dyson Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 interesting for web nerds: look at the two most read stories on the BBC right now for england Haha, I saw what you meant, that was cool.
Tom Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Is anyone else as impressed as I am that the USGS can have all this info up on the web almost immediatley after a quake and even identify the epicentre. Fantastic stuff. Really could do with going to bed now though, but I want to stay awake in case there ae after shocks. Unlikely TBH, given the magnitude and the time scale, but I dont want to miss them.
Slaggis Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 BBC news 24 says it was "4.7 on the richter scale" and as we thought, began in Hull.
Haver Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 What's impressive is not only that, but we have the information before it's published by professional journalists. Well, I'm glad the world did not end. Night.
Shorty Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 It's quite strange the way we were all connected by something other than this forum for a moment....
Aimless Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I didn't feel anything because I'm dead inside in Devon. I'm slightly jealous.
AeroScap Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 It's quite strange the way we were all connected by something other than this forum for a moment.... Wonder if the people in europe could feel it..
Supergrunch Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Just talked to someone on the floor above, she says she hardly felt it, which is odd, because it was shaking quite a lot one floor down.
