Earthquake?

Charlotte Green and Rob Wilkinson were enjoying a sexy cuddle in Gainsborough, Lincs.

The Sun's use of the term 'sexy' is alays cringeworthy for some reason.

Also, how much were they paid for this photo? Not enough is my estimate.

The earth moved for me in North London. I am on the top floor of a building, I suppose that makes a difference.

i thought it was a very strong wind!!

That was all I could think of at the time too!

There was a couple on the telly last night and she had just given birth and he was just cutting the umbilical cord as the room started shaking. Can't have been fun trying to, say, conduct open heart surgery or something as the trolley goes sliding down the theatre or whatever.

Sting being interviewed in the NME in 1980: "I mean, why do the Sun always refer to me as Sexy Sting? I don't go up to people and say hello, I'm Sexy Sting."

Doesn't he?

No, he went up to people and said "hello, I'm Gorgeous Gordon"

"Controversial Colin"

i apparently woke up and told my girlfriend the bed was shaking (in stoke newington) and we had a conversation about it, but i remember none of it.

You'll never get your picture in The Sun with that story

in cambridge, which is closer to lincoln than a whole lot of places, it did not stir my whisky-soaked brain i did not feel it at all :/

wait wha? you are in cambridge now?

ps. i felt it really violently and freaked out a bit since i was half asleep and it never clicked that it might be an earthquake

In NEW JERSEY? Moments ago?

Rockaway. As report on 4NY

Er...near Morristown

Small Earthquake Hits New Jersey

"What the fuck?" said John Passano, 25, of North Brunswick.

So that just now was the 2nd earthquake Melbourne has had in 2 weeks - we normally dont have them at all (minor tremor in '06 and thats all I can recall in 15 years here).

2 in 2 weeks? Rather disconcerting...

hellmouth's gonna open up, mark my words

There's some maaaaajor quakin goin on in Indonesia, has been for weeks, so I guess that's triggering faultlines or something I dunno?

how large?

the quake that is, not the hellmouth

Not much, both were 4.6 and not centred in Melb itself (town about 2 hrs away), but both quakes had the same epicentre which is odd.

slept through today's but woke up about 2 mins after - must have nudged me awake. yeah it is weird that there's been two within such a short time and originating in the same area.

At least you guys aren't in Darwin (for many obv reasons, but relating to earthquakes)

I felt it in SF. It was really small here though. I almost thought it was a truck going down the street.

I think this was the first earthquake I've felt in our office building (Mission+Beale, 20th floor)

Magnitude 4.4 first estimate.

Funny thing is that 9:30 - 10:00 they were talking about quakes and some socal quake on Forum.

I read that as "social quake," which actually sounds somewhat pleasant.

Felt this in Cupertino. Nobody even got up from the meeting table, though. Jaded Californians.

Strong 6.3-magnitude quake rattles Italy:

i felt nothing! but i was up in eagle rock listening to loud music when it happened. :-)

i used to go out with a seismologist
she was always trying to find faults in me

"Inglewood, always up to no good"

I was in Claremont, experiencing James Turrell's skyspace installation at Pomona College, and also felt nothing.
