wtf was that an earthquake just now?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Felt throughout the UK. 'Citin!

My neighbours felt it but I amazingly didn't. And I was awake.

Interesting.

USGS says it was a 4.7, BGS says it was a 5.2, BBC says it was a 6.

I felt nothing. Either I'm situated too far away, or the general effect of the wind, rain, etc. that my house was experiencing at the time dwarfed its effects.
