Justin Haze Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Went out for a heavy one last night, got in late and had a very rough night only to be woken at 8:20am by a bloody earthquake! Im from Dover which wasnt affected to much but i went 10 minutes down the road to folkestone where several buildings have been affected ie cracks in gable walls , chimney stacks collapsed etc. The news have suggested we my have a aftershock in the next few days but i reckon its just scare mongering. Not your average saturday morning very surreal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Caught this on the news earlier. I read that some people thought the nearby nuclear power station had exploded! I remember an earthqukae a few years back that was in Birmingham I think, and we both felt it in Leeds. Quite a surreal feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I don't think it was an earthquake - I suspect Dormouse had a rather large dodgy curry last night I remember the Birmingham earthquake though - we felt it here in Coventry, although the impact wasn't too bad. I remember hearing a large bang at 1am in the morning, and went in to yell at my sister for being so noisy while i'm trying to sleep for work. It was only when I woke up the next morning and heard the news, and saw that my cd pile had moved by an ince or so, that I realised that it wasn't her - it was the earthquake! oops!

dormouse Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I don't think it was an earthquake - I suspect Dormouse had a rather large dodgy curry last night Have been reporting on this all day at kmfm - a real community spirit in Folkestone today - very moving! My boss called me in at 10 this morning and I thought he was taking the piss! But we were all in taking calls and giving out info etc etc and was really random but satisfying nonetheless!

Justin Haze Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thats why all the networks where failing, it was the amount of crazies calling KMFM. Had it on for updates and got addicted listening to the random callers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 My parents back in England felt this as well... apparently, the first thing my dad said was perhaps terrorists had blown up the channel tunnel... Heard Folkstone got it bad though, a lot of structural damage in just 5 seconds of rumbling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
