Did the earth move for you too?
Written by Matt B · first published 27/02/2008
I slept through the entire thing (as always) but the earthquake early this morning managed to wake all my children up. My wife tells me that the youngest did not want to go back to sleep. Bless him (I bet my wife was not thinking that at 1am).
Apparently this was the strongest quake since 1984. Fortunately no-one was reported as being hurt in Kent (as far as the early morning news reports). There is a little disagreement in the early news sources as to if the earthquake was 5.2 or 5.3 on the Richter scale.

Yes, it does seem that the earth moved for the story writers - this small news item is a big talking point. Here are some of the news stories I looked at this morning to check what really happened. You have to get up very early in the morning for a true exclusive.

Did you sleep through the quake or did it wake you up? Did your pets play up... or were you blissfully unaware?
