Anyone feel the earthquake or tremour about 20 minutes ago?
Because it was that hard i was looking at Josh when it happened and the wall behind him moved quite alot...
From what I remember it only lasted for about 5 seconds...
- Just spoke to afrodan on the phone, he had it at his house, and we had it at DG HQ, and my brother had it at his, so its on a massive scale!
Apprently its bigger than just doncaster, Its been felt in manchester to, and even loughbrough (Cheers Phil!)
Im waiting for BBC news to launch something up on it...
I think it may have been a metior or something like it hitting the earth hard.
Is it only me that thinks this is cool? lol It felt right surreal... I’ve never felt one that strong before!

"Earth tremor felt across England.
People from across large parts of England have reported an earth tremor.
The BBC has received calls from people in Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Manchester, Berkshire and the West Midlands about a "quake".
The tremor could be felt in central Birmingham at about 0100 GMT but it is unclear if it has caused any damage.
The West Midlands was hit by an earthquake in 2002 in the Dudley area that reached 5.0 on the Richter scale and caused damage to homes."
Thats all they have to say at the minute...
Another Update from the BBC
The BBC has received calls from people in Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Manchester, Berkshire and the West Midlands about a "quake".
The tremor could be felt in central Birmingham at about 0100 GMT but it is unclear if it has caused any damage.
The US Geographical Survey’s website reported a quake of the magnitude of 4.7 and said the epicentre was 30 miles (50km) south of Kingston-upon-Hull.
The West Midlands was hit by an earthquake in 2002 in the Dudley area that reached 5.0 on the Richter scale and caused damage to homes.
Jemma Harrison, 22, in Bury, Greater Manchester, said: "It was really bad. I was fast asleep and woke up and the room was shaking and there was a loud bang and alarms were going off."
Natasha Cavey, in Tipton in the West Midlands, said: "All my cupboard doors flew open and the whole house shook, it was unreal. I can’t believe it."
it threw my servers off the shelves and woke me up >_>
ouch! Mine were screwed into the rack so there all fine, but the Internet died over here and over at DG HQ.
Any damage?
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre of the 5.3 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire.
