Ok, so who did not FEEL the earthquake last night?

Question

This is funny, I live in London and everyone here felt it. I was fully awake at 1am listening to music and in the bathroom. I did not feel a thing, and if measured 5.3. It apparently lasted 10 seconds. I believe that God protected me (and my friend said she did not feel it either) from that because I might have felt scared and also I was having a bad day yesterday. My mom came in the room and was like my room just shock I can't sleep in there. A lot of people said they felt scared.

Answer 1

He slept in his car and was awoken by neighbours the following day....A chimney had only fell off a roof and landed on his car. He didnt hear anything.? and wasnt hurt.!!! Do you think his wife had anything to do with it.??? ha ha ha ha...strange BUT True.

I did not feel the earthquake as I live in Ireland - but my sister in Northampton sent me a text (that woke me up) to say she was really scared the house was coming down!

I then got another text to say "not to worry" so of course I worried and rang her!

Woke up this morning and checked Sky News - wow 5.2 eh!

After the phone call to sis, I slept like a baby (from 1.45 onwards anyway!)

Answer 30

I felt it. It woke me up, as I lay in bed uncontrollably shaking. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac though. I'm only 26, but I thought I was having a heart attack. When the shaking stopped, I assessed whether there was any brain damage by doing a few sums in my head to see it there was any impact on logical thought processes. None were apparent, but I was still worried, so I phoned in sick to work, and was just about to go to the doctors when I saw on the news that there'd been an earthquake.

I feel a bit stupid now, and had I not seen the news before going to the doctors, it would have been very emabarrasaing.
