Skegness Earthquake 01:00





I was woken up at 01:00 Wednesday 27th February 2008 on the dot by what seemed to be a Quake of different levels.
Strong and weak then strong again. soon as the shakes started i looked at the time on my Mobile phone so i can time it.
My wardrobe doors were tapping together and my bed shakes constantly.
So you have this quake to blame for me being up writing as things happen.
This blogger was started 7 Min's after the quake.

Living at the east coat of England!
This is not expected here.
I have done a bit of digging into our past!

A Narrative of the Earthquake Felt in Lincolnshire, and the Neighbouring Counties, on the 25th of February, 1792. In a Letter from Edmund Turnor, Esq. F. R. S. to Sir Joseph Banks, Bart. P. R. S.
Edmund Turnor

I found that Earthquake tremors felt in Skegness on 24/4 1884
Also:

On April 13th, 1902, a slight earthquake occurred in the north of Lincolnshire. Its intensity was not more than 4, and the area disturbed by it included about 600 square miles. The shock was of the simplest character, lasting on an average for 4 seconds, and consisting of a single series of vibrations, which increased in intensity to a maximum and then died away. Though of little consequence when considered as an isolated event, the shock derives interest from its probable connection with the much stronger twin-earthquake which occurred in the same district three years later, on April 23rd, 1905.

On this day, there were two undoubted earthquakes, namely:—

(a) About 1.30 a.m.

(b) 1.37 a.m. (principal earthquake).



I have given you the news about the quake strait after having it!
Also i have taken you to the past to look back at quakes that have been.

At least the earthquakes don't seem to happen too often and aren't very strong. the one I was in in Kentucky I thought at first my son was jumping on the couch I was sitting on then I looked up and saw the big ceiling tiles shaking then I realized what it was and grabbed him and ran outside, the house we were in was old and i would rather take my chances outside. Fortunately it wasn't very strong and didn't last long. It was a 4 and I don't remember the duration 15 20 seconds maybe and as far as I remember that was the only one.
