EARTHQUAKE HITS WHERE I LIVE, KENT!

[indian8132]

Hello everyone

I live in South East Kent, in a small town called Folkestone. This morning, at 8:15am, I woke up because an earthquake hit! I jumped out of bed, got dressed and ran down the street cause I was so scared. I have never been in an earthquake before!! It measured 4.7 on the Richter Scale, and my fish tank fell over and electric was off for few hours. There was also a gas leak. Check Sky News, you will see LIVE IMAGES of our town, including MY HOUSE :O! My chimmeny fell down aswell, I saw that on TV. Anyone ever been in an earthquake? I was so scared, I heard mum shouting "SEAN GET UP ITS AN EARTHQUAKE!!"

UPDATE - Looked on news, and I see my friend from school waving at camera!! OMG wow its the road I am in!!

Btw, it says living in London on my profile, but I move recently from London.

Edit - Must go now earthquake due in 10 minuites we getting evacuated CHECK NEWS IF U DONT BELIEVE!!!!!

Earthquake shakes parts of Kent

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42859000/jpg/_42859185_firefighter_getty203b.jpg The earthquake damaged several homes in Folkestone

An earthquake with a magnitude of at least 4.3 has shaken parts of Kent, damaging buildings and disrupting electricity supplies.
Emergency services have received reports of structural damage including cracked walls and fallen chimneys in Folkestone and nearby areas.
The British Geological Survey said the tremor, which occurred at 0818 BST, had its epicentre out in the Dover Straits.
It said it was the largest quake in the UK since the one in Dudley in 2002.
The earthquake was reportedly felt as far afield as Essex, East Sussex and Suffolk.

Witnesses' accounts (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6602713.stm)


EDF Energy said it had managed to restore electricity to most of the several thousand homes left without power in the Folkestone and Dover area.
Scottish and Southern Energy, which supplies gas to the area, said it was investigating 300 "possible gas escapes".
"Obviously there is a smell about and people have been reporting it and we have to attend every single report," a spokesman said.

"But at the moment we are not sure if it is natural gas brought up by the earthquake, which can happen, or leaks from pipes."
Significant tremor
David Booth of the British Geological Survey said the tremor, which lasted a few seconds, was of a sizeable magnitude.
"It's certainly the largest in the UK since an earthquake in Dudley in the West Midlands in 2002 and that also caused damage. So this is a very significant tremor."
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42859000/gif/_42859199_kent_offshore_qua_203.gif

Dr Brian Baptie, also of the British Geological Survey, told BBC News 24 that the epicentre was seven miles (12km) south of Dover, out in the English Channel.

Randy Baldwin from the US Geological Survey, which monitors earthquakes, said the tremor had a preliminary magnitude of 4.7.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service said it had received more than a 100 emergency calls and was having to deal with "several incidents".

Most of these were reports of structural damage, but a fire engine had also been sent to Folkestone to investigate a "smell of gas".
A Eurostar spokesman said everything was running normally in the Channel Tunnel.
Violent shaking
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".
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gifQUAKES IN THE UK
December 2006 - Dumfries and Galloway (3.5 on Richter scale)
September 2002 - Dudley, West Midlands (5.0)
October 2001 - Melton Mowbray (4.1)
September 2000 - Warwick (4.2)
April 1990 - Bishop's Castle, Shropshire (5.1)
July 1984 - Nefyn, north Wales (5.4)
June 1931 - in North Sea near Great Yarmouth (6.1)


Eyewitness Lorraine Muir said: "We've been evacuated by the Sally Army; we've got no gas or electricity."
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."

I thought he was, because we're near centre of the tectonic plate.

[indian8132]

thank you, someone believes me
im so scared at first they said an explosion is ashford caused it, ashford - channel tunnell - maybe terrorists, but dat was ruled out and now it earthquke

apparently years ago, when channel tunnel were built, scientists said that may cause earthquakes in folkestone

[Ashhizzle]

:S I doubt chanel tunnel was the cause, because thats fine :P

[indian8132]

yea but some people thought the Dungeness Power Station exploded, its a nuclear station, so we also thought a nuclear explosion happened. but that was also ruled out

[Aflux]

Sounds a bit, untruthful because the earthquake struck at 0818 BST.

[indian8132]

exactly, i said 8:15, wasnt far off..

[Ashhizzle]

Sounds a bit, untruthful because the earthquake struck at 0818 BST.

So your telling me, the first thing yuo'd do when an earthquake struck wouold be to look at the clock?

Doubt it.

And your lucky in a way, to experience it in the UK

[Aflux]

Well, yes - I did when the Dudley one hit.

I didn't know what it was, so I looked at the clock to see what time it was because it might've been bin men or anything.

It is closer to 0820 though.

Anywho - glad your OK, even though you've been evacuated 10 minutes ago :rolleyes:.

15 seconds on the BBC :S

[indian8132]

15 seconds on the BBC :S

Thats in different parts of Kent, i am in Folkestone where it was around 7 seconds. Different parts such as Dover, Ashford etc, was longer

Oh my god. Just thought, we live at the sea coast. Dont earthquakes cause tsunamis??

[Aflux]

As I said, if it was 0815 and the earthquake didn't strike until 0818 - see where I'm going with this?

You also said you was going to be evacuated in 10 minutes at 1213 and it's now 21 minutes after.

Nothing adds up.

It hit us at around 8:15, clock may have been few mins late, and i am evacuated now already to our relatives in north kent

[3d]

heh yeh i saw this today i live in kent aswell as yourself but not down the coast north west in dartford ;) obviously i didnt feel anything, what im confused about it that underneath england we have no plates therefore we dont get volcanoes, tsunami's and earthquakes but that confused me

Yep i felt it to. I was in bed and felt it shaking for so many secs ( was in morning cba to count) The walls were rumblinb. It was a cool experience but scary.

[crans]

Why does it say on your profile you live in London..?

Doubt you live in Kent.. If theres a earthquake.. you wouldnt even think about getting dressed, you'd try get out of your house :s

either way your lieing lol doubt you even live in kent..

If you read the first post, It says I MOVED FROM LONDON RECENTLY AND BEEN MEANING TO UPDATE IT! I live in Folkestone now, a very nice seaside town :D I did get dressed, I didnt want to go out in boxer shorts on a busy main road, however, I didnt have a shirt on. Just trousers

[Ed.]

Wow - I didnt believe it at first! Sorry to hear about it mate :o

[GommeInc]

That is worrying. My dads family home is in Kent and if that had alot of damage done to it, he would be either angry or extremely upset... Toy Hill if you know that area of Kent?

[indian8132]

Sorry, Dont know Toy Hill. No need to apologise if you didnt believe me at first, I understand, Chances are I wouldnt believe it if I didnt hear it on news!

[DiscoPat]

wow, atleast your all good

[indian8132]

Me and my family are fine, apart from my cousin fell down the stairs when it happened, but shes fine now :)

Its real scary, anyone been in earthquake before?

Some IDIOT has gave me a -Rep for lieing about this post, BUT I DIDNT LIE CHECK THE NEWS. Stupid, ignorant *******.

[Kieeran]

I was hit by the one in dudly (5.0) on the scale. knocked pictures off walls. kinda funny but scary as well

[DaveTaylor]

i was hit by one few years back in leicester

Somebody can't read! YOU!

He said: Btw, it says living in London on my profile, but I move recently from London.

There was one, read the news. Yes, if there was an earth quake, I'd get dressed, I wouldn't run out in my boxers. o.O;

-.-; You need to read the posts more.

[indian8132]

Apparently theres another one due tonight, Im getting out of here in a b+b in London tonight probabbly, its so scary how the ground moved. If it happened in a school day, kids would have been killed by slates off roof etc, and the amount of cars on the road evacuating folkestone is unbelievable!!

[Aflux]

It's merely impossible to predict earthquakes.

[indian8132]

It's merely impossible to predict earthquakes.

They said there will be one tonight, an Aftershock or something..

[Joe!]

I had that, was round mates house at time, chimney fell off
my mates nextdoor neighbour house collapsed.
the sports centre roof collapsed.
the house i was in, you could literally see the curtains shaking the walls swinging from side to side
it must of swayed at least 5-10cm.
scary stuff.
exciting though :P

[Pixel]

I was well suprised when I heard this when I got home

I live in Kent aswell but Folkestone is quite far from me, like an hour I think

[Joe!]

It was very strange.
Black bull road got it worst.
People who are moving away for ngiht are silly though, the chances of it happening again...

[Scorpio]

Are actually much higher than usual seeing as one just occurred?

You in Folkestone too? I am in Blackbull rd.

[PaulMacC]

I hope your okay tonight and any of your property doesnt get damaged.

[Scorpio]

What did the ground feel like beneath your feet? Did it feel like the floor was slipping beneath you? :O My dad was in an earthquake and he said he thought he was fainting because everything shook, but then he saw trees shaking and the windows wobbling. :D

[indian8132]

Me and my family are all ok, but my laptop broke because a slate from the roof fell on it, and broke the screen. It switches it on, and switches off after a few seconds.. but we got insurance!! :D

The ground felt so wierd!! The immediate first thing i thought, was *Terrorists.* cause i didnt know you can get earthquakes in this part of england

[Dj-Stu]

Anyone thinking we are lying is a bit of a fool.

Standing up must have felt real weird

I never knew we might get a aftershock tonight.

[Ashley 12344]

Was also on Galaxy...

[Sammeth.]

September 2002 - Dudley, West Midlands (5.0)

I remember that one, but it was early in the morning. Like 3am or something. It woke my parents up, but I slept right through it. So when I say I remember it, I remember my Mum having a paddy at me the next morning.

Unlucky tbh, that you got hit quite badly. Looks like your house was affected quite a bit :(

[Joe!]

You in Folkestone too? I am in Blackbull rd.

i was in seagrave crescent at time, so like 2mins away from blackbull road.
was rather bad there.
it was really weird expreiance.
did you have your laptop outside or something? lol

[Mitch4?]

is it true that a rictor scale of 1, is 1000 times less powerful than a rictor scale of 2? and 1 is 1 million times less powerful than a rictor scale of 3... etc.

So yeah, if it was like just a bit more you could of been badly hurt xox.

[lAdmire]

I heard about the earthquake in Kent but how are you on the computer if there was an earthquake. Everything would've been shifted around. && second, no one ever knows when an earthquake is coming. It's unexpected. So, how do you know there will be one in 10 minutes?

[today]

Do you know the ICT and science today.. Geez.

Though they might not be able to predict the first one but maybe after the first one they can get 'readings' to predict others within a certain time limit?

*guess*

[indian8132]

I was wrong about one in 10 minuites, the news was wrong.

Now, Let me explain the laptop situation.

I was outside, on wireless internet the night before and left the laptop in the garden. I forgot all about it, and the wall collapsed and smashed it. The Insurance Company will give us a new one thankfully! If you see SkyNews, you will the the chimmeny outside our house smashed to pieces and the back garden where the wall collapsed. My friends were on telly live too, I wanted to run out a pull a moony at the camera, but mum stopped me :p

Anyone else experiance it? I didnt know earthquakes could hit kent which is why I immediatly thought this pattern -

Was kinda asleep/awake, thinkin about fit girls... felt shaking and heard rumbling, shot up... thought *Ashford Channel Tunnell. Dungeness Nuclear Power Station... Terrorists!"

The machine you want the name for is a SESIOMETER. It can detect earthquake levels.

[UnderGROUND]

Ah yer, thats it. Sesiometer.

[:Hazel]

blimey i didnt realise this story until now, that is strange...

[indian8132]

Yes, it is very strange, Part of our school is apparently damaged!!! NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY!!! With any luck... hrmph...

[Joe!]

+ I think around 300,000 houses were without power or something.

several thousand according to news, but it came back on about 11:25am.

typo what school you at?

Edited by Garion (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not ask for personal details, such as what school someone goes to, thanks :).

[3d]

*Ashford Channel Tunnell. Dungeness Nuclear Power Station... Terrorists!"
dont bother having ago at me people but no offence terrorist dont do stuff in early hours they do it to mess things up and cause chaos so it wouldnt of been them at that time :P

[Joemaphobe]

;O I wonder what caused it/how it happened in Kent.

[Virgin Mary]

eine nein!!!

[Alkaz]

I Live in gravesed, kent. About 100 miles from folkstone.
Sorry to hear the news.

[Joe!]

Hmmm.. everything seems to be normal now :)
good ol rainy folkestone :/
lots of rain today, which doesnt help people trying to rebuild there houses :/

[Sammeth.]

;O I wonder what caused it/how it happened in Kent.

The Earthquake was triggered by the Dover Strait I believe.

[indian8132]

Terrorists do strike in early hours (Rush Hour)

And I was not thinking straight, I couldnt exactly figure it out there and then what it could have been.

Yes, rainy folkestone :(

[cocaine]

pmsl you're worring to much

it wouldnt cause a tsunami

[Shawnstra]

Unlucky mate :P Bless u

[Jinxxed]

Yeah i saw that in the paper today. Wierd.

[&]

There was one in Kettering (where I live) about 15 years ago when I was a baby.. Nice how I was asleep :l

[cocaine]

i think you're overreacting.

wow, its an earthquake.

and why the hell would terroists target kent..

yeah its like osama bin laden hiding in the houses of parliament, it just doesnt happen.

[indian8132]

Could be targeting Dover Ports, Channel tunnell, S. London (Some part of it is Kent)

[Seacat]

I saw this on the news but to be honest most of the time I don't know whether you're lying or not just for attention. Judging by your past threads you probably are. So far you've rang ASDA with a prank call about Tesco, smashed someones window when randomly throwing stones, your mum has secretly installed CCTV in your home and you've also had an "emergency" where your relative wanted to take you out on the weekend that you was meant to be going out with a girl.

Then you've made a thread saying you wanted to commit suicide. Your profile has said you live in London for ages, yet when something happens you have suddenly "moved house".

Basically I think you're a lier.

Think what you wish, from then I have grown up. I did make prank calls, break a few windows, but I have grown up and thats all in the past. CCTV Was installed in our house and still is. Committng suicide was just cause I was angry and I have apologized. I have moved house, London isint as great as the media make it to be.

Remember, I grown up now.

Plus, you were saying you were getting 'evcuated'

It's not a war or anything, you'd just walk out of your house...
Plus, if I'm correct, there wern't any aftershocks.

Evacuated, by that I mean, taken to the Salvation Army in Folkestone. Now we are out of there and at family in North Kent

[Joe!]

some of you people are silly. basically some people thought it was terroists because when its happening your state of mind completely changes, i look back at my thoughts and laugh. they were ridiculous but at the time, you think it could be anything. and yes some people were evacuated, as there houses were not suitable to live in, some are being demolished as they cannot be repaired. i am not at school tomorrow as there is structual and interior damage. please dont say he is lying, he is telling the truth. it was very bad for some people.
my mates which i was in at the time of earthquake has cracks all over it. all the chimneys down his road are cracked or smashed.
it really was rather bad for some.

[benjamin]

[velocity]

did anyone die?
nope, it was only 4.5

[Joe!]

no one person was injured thats it.
some parts of kent are nice and posh :)
but some. e.g where the cameras were nasty parts of folkestone to be honest lol

[Dan2nd]

don't you have to be near the edge of a techtonic (sp?) plate to get earthquakes?

just wondering as the Uk is like in the middle of one

[samsaBEAR]

i felt it, i was in bed and it just shook. it was slightly scary, i didnt realise what it was till we were talking about it earlier today.

[benjamin]

nope, it was only 4.5
ah dam

don't you have to be near the edge of a techtonic (sp?) plate to get earthquakes?

just wondering as the Uk is like in the middle of one
eh gd point.

[Joe!]

don't you have to be near the edge of a techtonic (sp?) plate to get earthquakes?

just wondering as the Uk is like in the middle of one

how would that work? if the whole plate moves then we would feel it:s anyway the epicenter was about 5 or 6 miles out in the channel

[lew!]

I thought one old woman died?
oh and typo king oz 102.0 was saying about the schools and that, did u hear about it?

[indian8132]

What you mean kind oz 120.6 :s

No one was killed luckily :)

And I am begginning to think, and dont get me wrong or go mad etc I most probs am wrong, but it might have been a government conspiracy, planting a Nuclear Bomb underground and blame it on terrorists? seeing as we are not on a tectonic plate?

please dont go mad at me for saying this, i might be 100% wrong ;]

[-Soph-]

I bet it knocked your tea over and all sorts :O
