Seems like locals are still posting so the nuclear power stations are still in one piece.

i felt it at the uni, i work above the barclays, i thought someone had blown up their safe!

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

Tomorrow's stories today :lol: :lol:

At about 11.20am yesterday people from the town - and as far as Barrow, Blackpool, Lancaster and Carnforth - experienced what at first felt like an explosion.

What have we done to the BBC? Do we actually exist to them?

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...
