Violent shaking - some quotes

 

Sharon Hayles, from Stanford near the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone, said her house slid from side to side for about 10 to 15 seconds.

 

Another Folkestone man told BBC Five Live Breakfast that his whole house "shook quite violently".

 

Paul Smye-Rumsby, who lives in Dover, said: "It was about 08.15 when suddenly the bed shook violently.

 

"I thought my wife had got cramp or something but then I saw the curtains were moving and the whole house was shaking. It lasted about 1.5 seconds.

 

"All the power is off and we have got the portable radio on. People are standing outside talking to each other about it."

My cats all came rushing into the house just before the tremor. Last night they were all very nervy.

 

Funnily enough, Graham was out in the fields with the dogs and noticed nothing at all.

I am in Herne Bay and felt the room moving and lots of rattling. It only lasted a matter of seconds and ignored it at the time, but then saw it on the net and was quite surprised that it was an earthquake!!!
