4.7

[faustus]

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 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.

I'm here, I'm okay, I was out when it happened, there were bricks falling everywhere ...

Oh My God, this is terrible! We must launch Kent Aid to support the poor traumatised victims. We need to get together all the famous Kent bands(1) and record a charity single and hold a concern at the largest sports venue(2) in the area.

(1) there must be some?
(2) there must be one that can hold a few hundred (or at least tens)?
