Please excuse the shaky typing but we've just had an earthquake in the UK!! It was just before 1am (it's now 1:50am). I was working at the computer downstairs when it sounded like someone had fallen out of bed upstairs. I looked up then the whole house shook for maybe 2-3 seconds. I guess it was very mild by global earthquake standards but in the UK they're pretty rare and this one really shook! It woke Sue and Emily but Matt slept through it! It was the first quake I've ever felt, so that tells you something about the rarity of UK quakes.

The largest UK quake was a 6.0 but that was off shore in the North Sea. No idea how big this one was but I guess we'll find out in the morning when we get more details.
