There i was watching the last part of RAW on Dailymotion when i suddenly felt a slight wobbly sensation that felt like a dizzy spell. I thought nothing of it until a few mins later i went onto a forum and there were mentions of a earthquake. Wow!, i’ve experienced my first ‘quake. Cool. Anyway the epicentre was in a Lincolnshire village and it was 5.2 on the richter scale.
Here’s the current article on the BBC site
