I was dozing, as is my habit it seems, and at about 8.20 the bed went boing. Oh, an earthquake, I said, and turned over.
The epicentre was 15 miles south of here - I suspect that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brisingamen probably would have felt it more and may be without electricity. No immediate structural damage here, but has been reported at other towns in the area.
Edit: A 5 recorded south west of here. Epicentre now declared to be 12km south of Dover, ie in the straits, although the BBC's map is confused as to where that is.
Edit; The BBC have now found Dover, it appears. Probably I ought to look at my roof but the cracks in my plaster seem the same size and the washing up is still perilously spread.

The BBC have changed their map to just show Kent.

I have experienced an earthquake in Cyprus and the tremors this morning were definitely similar, I would estimate an earthquake of about three to four.

I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me.
