bladedanny Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Second largest on the planet today apparently Live Earthquakes Map Correction, second largest in the last few hours... 8th largest in magnitude according to that table isn't it.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 8th largest in magnitude according to that table isn't it. I got my correction in once I realised Second largest in the last nine ours. Something to be proud of at least?
Little-Miss Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I remember the one in Dudley. That was pretty intense. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Dudley_earthquake Thinking about it, I swear we had one more recent than that too... Edit: 2008 Edited February 20, 2014 by Little-Miss
Millgate_Jon Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I was living about 2 miles from BHX when the Dudley one happened, although I was further from Dudley than that I still had books shaken off shelves and the rumble through the floor made me wonder if a plane had crashed. Looking back it was quite exciting really!
Little-Miss Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Haha, it was. I had headphones on at the time so felt it through the floor first. Remember thinking maybe my bro had knocked over his guitar or amp but it just kept going lol! I think it was the length of time it went on for that made it exciting.
gmj Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I remember the Dudley one too. Believe it or not, myself and then partner were watching "The Evil Dead" at the time....the quake rumble came just as the characters started to read the incantations from the Necronomicon.
Little-Miss Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Excellent! Where in the world are you then @gmj?
gmj Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 In the good old West Midlands, Live in Chasetown...small place best described as being between Lichfield and *shudders* Cannock. Yeah...the quake was timed perfectly for the film ...4D Home cinema.
