UEA norwich: minor earthquake at 1am 27 feb 2008

Yeah, happened a few minutes ago. I was watching WWE RAW (latest) when all of the sudden i felt vibration as i was lying on the bed. I can see the laptop's screen shaking a bit. But the one i focused the most is my vaseline body lotion (for my foot) as it was standing loosely on top of the cd casing and the bottle is vibrating... a lot.

Fortunately it only lasted around 8-10(?) secs and i just open my window and try to look outside (expecting a big moving truck, or something that made the vibrations). A minute later, mr Y asked me in MSN "arah mu bagagar?" which means at my place, is it shaking? Excitedly i said yes... yeah i have to admit, i never experience earthquake before (living in brunei, way off the earthquake belt) BUT right now I am experiencing it and i cannot imagine (AND I PRAY I DO NOT GO THROUGH IT) how a major earthquake would felt like.

few minutes later, aji called and ask regarding about the earthquake. But for their place (the other side of on campus housing in UEA), he told me they were all outside with security and all

WAITAMINUTE??? ARENT I SUPPOSE TO BE OUTSIDE???? =O

nope, still in the room. But after this, gotta check out the proper procedure in case of similar event happen (which im gonna pray it WONT)

update: hertfordshire(wares) where my sister is currently studying and living also felt the earthquake! *gasps!* she told me her bed went shakey-shakey
update2: called my friend in bruhall, paddington, LONDON and yeah they also felt it.. I even asked her has she experience this for the past 2 years, and she replied this is her first time

I was in Norwich for this one, a small one for me as I lived in Greece for many years but here's a report on the latest you just experienced:
