I live about 10 miles from the epicentre and it scared the sh/it out of me :lol:

It was nothing more than a little rumble.

THIS is nothing more than a tiny little rumble that everyone’s making a huge fuss over nothing;
UK has tiny little earthquake. About £5 worth of damage in Lincoln. One man in hospital with broken hip. Shock! Horror! Gasp! Panic! Loot! Riot!
Seriously. We’re breeding a gang of pansies in Great Britain these days. One tiny little rumble and everyone goes on about it like it’s the end of the world.
Makes me HOWL with laughter when you read the news.
UK earthquake news;
A “significant” earthquake shook the UK in the early hours of Wednesday morning, causing damage to buildings and leaving at least one person injured. (OMG shock horror, atleast ONE person, like OMFG we’re all going to die!)

Earthquake news in other parts of the world;
Pakistan has confirmed more than 73,000 deaths, most of them in Pakistani-administered Kashmir. India says nearly 1,400 have died in the sector it administers. Tens of thousands were injured and up to three million left homeless.
The World Food Programme says some 500,000 people in remote areas have received no aid at all. One of the biggest problems is meeting the demand for tents that can provide shelter as the cold weather worsens. Fears are mounting of a second wave of deaths from untreated injuries and exposure.

Now THAT’s a f*cking news-worthy earthquake! Not “oh, one man hurt his leg.”
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves
What happened was an earthquake…simple as
No one here has belittled any other worldwide earthquake- simply having a laugh about something most of us have never experienced before…jus cos the media decided to hype it up doesnt mean it wasnt an earthquake
