Shake, Rattle and Roll

Filed under: Anglophilia

An earthquake hit the U.K., including London and as far as Wales, on Tuesday evening.

With a magnitude of 5.3, it was pretty darn big.

It is thought to be the UK's largest earthquake in the last 25 years.

Hope everyone's okay!

    My friends from up north and London area were telling me about this a few hours ago. I was gutted it didn't reach as far as Dover, where i live. We need some excitement!
    Oh, and actually we had an earthquake down this end last year, and it was 6. something…so no, that wasn't the biggest earthquake in 10 years.

    hey everybody. so i just found this site and i thought i would share it.
    This girl rachel is in real financial trouble and is looking for help.

    This poor girl is about to loose everything. I feel like we really need to help her. Come on perez readers! We are a great community here and i think we can do anything we put our minds to!

    Help her out. I did, and now i feel great about it.

    here is her site

    That must be scary for them, especially since earthquakes in their area are rare. A 4.7 is an alright quake, though. No big deal… if you live in a city with buildings built for earthquake tremors.

    See Malario!

    God is punishing the UK for having you visit there. God not only hates gays but hates over weight gays who get horrible hair cut/dyes, dress like vagabonds and self promotes themselves with their hardly watched cable specials!

    A 4.5 is a minor earthquake according to the USGC, not a "pretty darn big"one Perez. Maybe you should stick to the gossip and leave the science to the scientists … just a thought.

    I'm in Manchester [NorthWest UK]; It was extremely scarey even though it is not classed as very large-scale in comparison.. I can't even begin to imagine what it is like for those who experience them on a higher richter scale..that must be so awful.

    "Good for Them" - I'd like to clarify that no tea was spilled, not that I'm aware of. That would be extremely unfortunate.

    No reported injuries or anything so hope everyone around UK is fine..

    Thanks for the Lovee, KissKiss xxxxx

    The earthquake happened the same time as the final Spice Girls concert…maybe the tectonic plates decided to "shake it to the right…"
