Two nuclear power stations crack after the earthquake, the world is coming to an end as far as Morecambrians know it. What do you do? Phone your local newspaper :lol: :lol: :lol:

From the news article online and the radio...
'It centred on Ulverston in Cumbria and was felt around Barrow, Kendal, Windermere, Fleetwood and the North Lancaster area.'.... :roll:

The fact that it was in Morecambe Bay... and we don't even get a mention...




Ive always felt this, and not just with football but in general, and why isn't Lancaster the capital of Lancashire anymore when York is the capital of Yorkshire ?








Anyways back on topic, don't brake it just shake it Morecambe Bay!

It is. Preston is the administrative centre and some of its residents like to claim it as the county town - but it's not. Lancaster is and if anyone wants to argue, they can take it up with the Duke of Lancaster and see what she thinks.

No, but my mum's gardner was on the radio saying that cracks have appeared in his house in Bare.

i wonder where it came on the richter scale? i think it's logarithmic so might be very disappointing..


It is logarithmic, to base 10.
So if this was over 3, 4 feels 10 times stronger, 5 feels 100 times stronger etc.
Makes you think, 9 on the phillipines must be pretty scary.

What a shame Keith didnt have time to get a glass full of iced water and a wristwatch to see if the earthquake had any effect on global warming. :lol:

I work in Ulverston, i didnt really feel the tremor as much as others have said, although people in the office at the time said, almost jokingly earthquake,
funniest comment i heard/saw was from someone who said
it hit Morecambe and did1 million pounds worth of improvements
