BatchFile Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Did anyone in Northern England feel an earthquake at about 11.22 this morning? - there was quite a shock here!

SteveT Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Our Business Manager phoned down to ask if I'd felt anything. I said no, but she had been on the verge of leaving the building. Hmmmm ............. I felt nothing but the earth had moved for her!! Typical!!
tsky Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Nothing in Teesside.... but then, we don't feel anything up here because we're all thick skinned northern monkeys
carnforthhigh Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 It was a hell of a shock here in carnforth. The whole building shook quite violently
john Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Typical, I stop working in the lakes and move back to Yorkshire and the earth moves right in the town where I worked, I'm sure that one of the IT team from the school I've come from can be poked to post on here seen as the Beeb say it was in Ulverston which is where they are
badders Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Was in the middle of VMware training when it happened, everybody had just restarted machines when the whole room stated shaking! We couldn't work out what it was at first as there are various things near by that could have exploded (chemical, gas, nuclear etc). Kids were a bit hyper for the rest of the day. Will have to check the CCTV for shaky cameras!
john Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Ah right on queue I knew that VMWare and the Blade Centre was powerful stuff but WOW you will have the share that trick with me sometime Could do with a few quakes in the Dales to shake a few people up at times
Michael Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Nothing here, but then again Birmingham isn't North England is it?
BatchFile Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Typical, I stop working in the lakes and move back to Yorkshire and the earth moves right in the town where I worked, I'm sure that one of the IT team from the school I've come from can be poked to post on here seen as the Beeb say it was in Ulverston which is where they are It's a damn fine school with some excellent former pupils, mentioning no names:rolleyes: I'm in Cartmel, six miles away as the seagull flies, hence the reason it sounded like a bomb going off I've since heard the epicentre was actually in Morecambe bay, so may have been even closer to us than them! Nothing here, but then again Birmingham isn't North England is it? No. Looking from here, it's a short distance from the equator :lie:
