At about 1 am this morning I was lying in bed and heard this strange rumbling noise and felt the whole bed shaking. It was really strange and at one point felt that our cat must have been in the room and was jumping up and down on my legs.

About 10 seconds later it stopped and I layed there wondering if the cat was still in the room. Moments later my girlfirend who was working on the computer downstairs came running up asking “did you feel that”. I said yes and told her I thought the cat was in the room when she explained the whole room downstairs was shaking and it must have been an earthquake.

We don’t get many earthquakes in this country and I thought no more of it until I turned on the radio in the morning to hear there was in fact an earthquake.

Well it turns out the epicentre was in Market Rasen in Lincolnshire 138 miles away. It was a shock for us but I can’t imagine what it was like there.
