I heard it too in Doncaster, i was just getting a drink of water and then it felt like a train was passing by (as there are train tracks not so far away) then it got really bad, the floor was moving rapidly and the plates and bowls were clanging along with creaking walls and furniture rocking for about 30 seconds, i am still shaking a bit now! Anyone heard anything on a news channel yet live or something if so what channel? Baisically any info would be cool :o .

Respect,

(*$malli$*)

The epicentre I have found out was in Cabourne, Lincolnshire, 30 miles South from Hull, no wonder it felt strong.

Im so pleased you guys have felt it. 00.59 and it woke us all up. 8 month old Harry started crying. The house really shook!! I have already reported it to Sky News and BBc News.

Scared the hell out of us all. You could hear the brickwork moving :mellow:

And yeah the brickwork, that was scared as hell. I gotta little damage outside to my porch!

And the BBC24 news presenters referred to Hull as in Humberside (which was abolished back in 1996, that really Tutses me off), funny really it clearly said lincolnshire on the screen, and Hull is actually in the East Riding of Yorkshire lol

Lol, ok so we didn't get snow this winter...but :D

biggest one I have been in was a 6.4... pretty hair raising stuff, but I lived in NZ for years and you get little tremors all the time there

This is from my PhD thesis showing the events I've used for the Period 1982-2006.

As you can see Lincolnshire is pretty aseismic and there are few faults of any significance.

Events in eastern england tend to be far fewer in terms of recurrance intervals, but often fairly large and typically occur very deep > 15 km.

Light-hearted jokes, but I hear some people in Hull are still in temporary housing thanks to the floods that occurred last summer (lol i was in my own earthquake around the same time in greece). So though I am sure little or no damage has occured I think its not funny to jest 'at us forgotten people in the north'.
