  Morning Caroline
  
  I've just read a bit about it on the sky news homepage apparantly it was over 5 on the richter sale! Can't say we felt anything here although i'd have probably slept through it anyway!!!
  
  Hope you're well other than being rudely awoken in the night!!!

  Jack was just waking up for his feed about 5 mins before the quake so I was just coming round from my deep sleep. I thought that an 18 wheeler had just gone throug my garden. The bottles and canisters on my dressing table rattled, i could hear the empty bottles rattling aginst the bars of the cot in other room, but my living room doors rattle at an ants fart,they kept going for a minute or so.
  
  I was petrified. I came down stairs to check on the internet where i should report it. But i couldnt find anything. I ended up phoning my OH in dubai (it was 5am there) he told me that they happen all the time, we just sleep through them. good one mick
  
  How scary!

  My dog started to bark which woke us up then within minutes of that the whole house started to shake. The noise was amazing and quite loud but it didn't wake the kids up and me and hubs just went back to sleep.5.2 is quite big for britain and i'm not to far from the epicentre.

  Adam was woken by it and told me there had been an earthquake and apparently my response was, 'how nice!!'
  Definately deep asleep!
  
  The Dudly one 5years ago was only 3miles from where we live, so I know what it was like for you Caroline!
