earthquake

I am in the UK midlands. We had a small earthquake (5.2) centred about 100 miles to the north-east of here. We do not get many earthquakes here - about one every 10 years or so. A few folks lost tiles off their roofs and I heard that one man was injured by a falling chimney nearer to the epicentre.

Now that is not news you hear everyday. Glad you are alright and sorry that happened.

I didn't know you got earthquakes there. I'm glad your okay.

Glad you were not hurt. I used to live in Germany about 15 yrs ago and we had an earthquake. I slept right through it.

I woke up and my schunk doors were all open and I was like what happened, I thought I had a party in my sleep.

*That must have been kinda scary for you guys-- You're not exactly built for that sort of thing. I lived in San Jose & was there in '89 for the Loma Prieta quake. We had a small here in Florida 2 yrs or so ago even! PAYS to think a little about what might be jostled, or could probably fall, ya know.

Imagine that! Glad you are OK and no one was killed! I what the chickens thought! ha

Thanks all for your kind comments.
We too are sorry for those who got hurt or damage to property, but it takes a lot more than a little earthquake to shake us Brits up D K!
I don't know what the hens thought as I did not get up to check, but someone in the north said that all the birds started to sing at 1hour GMT and it was pitch dark. I can't quite imagine my hens singing. I wonder what song they would choose?

*"Bend me, Shake me"? "I Feel The Earth Move"?? Sorry! BAD TOAD!
