We had an earthquake at about 1am in the UK! The entire house shook. Scared the hell out of me. The BBC have a news report on it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2275158.stm

I'm quite safe, we get no Hurricanes, Tornadoes or Earthquakes here. The worst is a storm. And that isn't much, is it?

We never get earthquakes... We're right in the middle of a tectonic (sp?) plate.
I was awake @ 1am and didn't notice it...
