So... Did The Earth Move For You?:)

We felt it here in North Norfolk. I thought it was just my kids and the dog roughhousing so I shouted at them to get back to bed. I only found out it was an earthquake the next morning.

I didn't felt it, since UK is far away from the Philippines!;) My country is a part of the Asian continent, it's also included on the Pacific "ring of fire." We experience earthquake almost every year, on some parts of the country. The last time a huge earthquake struck as was almost 17 or 18 years ago, it cost thousands of lives (with some even buried alive and were not found) and millions of infrastructures were destroyed. I think that time, some buildings were not that strong enough to withstand a 7.8 magnitude typer of an earth-shaker. But then again, I'm very much sure that nobody wishes to be struck by such a force like that..

I Was very shock to see that you had an earthquake over there. if something shook or ya felt a movement then ya felt it. Back in the 50s one hit i YEllowstone park about 300 miles from where I lived and it tossed me out of bed and my girlfriend had a 9 foot chest that got move way across her room. and it killed the gas stations family that had bee there for a vacation. We all were very sorry for him . was a very sad man for along time but us kids would go around not only to buy gas but to cheer him up.

Hello Pat, Singapore is an earthquake-free zone. I can't remember the exactly geographic term for it. But we are not on any seismic area. We are fortunate because of all the natural disasters plaguing the rest of the world, the worst we have are mini flash floods and haze coming over from fires in neighboring countries. We occasionally feel tremors but those are caused by earthquakes happening in neighboring countries.

Did the earth move for me? I am not sure. However, Singapore time yesterday afternoon, my colleagues claims their monitors were moving. I believe I am "firm" enough not to be "moved". I thought I was dizzy though on Monday afternoon Singapore time. Even the goldfish in office really felt the effect of a quake nearby.

I heard about that quake, to bad it caused so much damage. Fortunately I have never been in an earthquake or any other form of natural disaster.

Helllooo my friend , I was told about this by hubby but we never felt anything , I hope you are well and allof the family too pal , xx

Nope not a thing I knew nothing about it till I saw the News But Mel said they had bad up there and she thought that her neighbour upstairs moved the Furniture round until she told her Friend who picked her up for work about it, Mel said to him that it felt like an Earthquake and her Friend said Mel I hate to tell you this it was not your Neighbour it was an earthquake I never felt anything and even if I had I would have probably thought it was the Tablets making me imagine things

We had one here this morning about 5:37am woke me up...lol and my boyfriend looks at me and said...did you feel that wind blow and all I could do was laugh at him. They said it registered a 5.4 this morning.

No, slept right through it all the best urban

Like you I didn't feel a thing. I didn't know anything about it until half way through the next day. It looked pretty bad in Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, but it must have missed us, I think. Thank goodness. I would have thought it was my neighbour playing his car stereo loud. That shakes the house. lol.

Thankfully no I didn't feel it! I would like to say I slept through it but I wasn't even asleep so if tremors had been felt in this area I would have known about it! Still a bit confused as to why there are earthquakes here though as there are no fault lines or plate thingies! xxx

No Doll not this time but love the song! I have had it move many times though..I used to live in Southern California and tremors were the rule not the exception. It is amazing what a waterbed does when the shocks hit it..lol oxxoxoxoxo

Nopes, it didn't, but I have heard hundreds of stories of natural disasters. Fortunately, I live in a very safe place. The closest to me was the tsunami, and even that we hardly felt over here. Cheers.

Scary thought. We did not feel it here in Kansas though. Glad you are okay. I got to feel quakes regularly when I lived in San Diego. In Kansas we get tornadoes, but I will take those any day over earthquakes. I do not know too many ways to predict quakes yet. At least the weather man can see the tornado coming.Usually.

We never felt that here in the Philippines. Although on August 16, 1976, a devastating earthquake on the Cotabato Trench caused destruction on the island of Mindanao - the southernmost and largest of the Phillipine Islands. The destructive tsunami that was generated in the Gulf of Moro and in the Celebes Sea killed about 8,000 people in coastal communities in North and South Zamboanga, North and South Lanao, North Cotabato, Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat (Mindanao), and in the neighboring Sulu Islands. This was the worst earthquake and tsunami disaster in the history of the Phillilines. The earthquake occurred at 16:10 UTC of August 16, 1976 (local date August 17, 1976). The epicenter was in the Celebes Sea between the islands of Mindanao and Borneo. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center's preliminary magnitude was given as 8.0 on the Richter scale and as 7.9 by other sources. There were many aftershocks following the main earthquake. A major aftershock on August 17 (local date) had a magnitude of 6.8. It was proceeded by at least fifteen smaller aftershocks. Earthquakes are scary.. I don't want it to happen anywhere in the world.. Too many innocent victims breaks my heart...especially where children get trapped and killed on it.

You in luck that you were not able to feel the earthquake that many people of your country felt. I guess in our place earthquakes are frequent than in your place but so far we have never epxerience one big quake for the past several years.

Holy Smokes Darkwing!...I didn't hear about it until your discussion...good grief, I need to get a life. I don't watch the news because it makes me depressed, lol! I'm so happy, soooo happy to hear you're OK! What the heck caused it? I don't remember ever hearing about an earthquake in the UK. I did feel a tremor once here in Ohio many years ago, like 21 years or so ago. I remember sitting on a chair and I felt like I was jiggling around and I thought I was having some kind of attack, haha. I was at my daughter's apartment and she was feeding my Grandson at the time. She didn't say anything about it so I thought it was just me. Later that day, they mentioned we had a tremor on the news. I guess we're on some kind of fault line here that I never knew about until then. Not a big deal but I knew I felt something, lol!, and I'm glad it wasn't an attack of some sorts. Again, I'm glad this didn't create any problems for you and you're safe and sound.
