just saw it on the news...Hope everyone is ok.... Sally xx

Hi all, The earth didn't move here!!! We are near the East Sussex border and the first I knew of it was when a worried London friend phoned me. Val is in Ashford so I would have thought she was ok - they are saying on Radio Kent just now that the epi-centre is actually in the channel so the coastal towns are more likely to be have been affected - Is Margaret in Broadstairs? I can't remember, sorry Margaret. So Dover, Folkestone, Sandwich, etc. You lot probably know more than me. There was a rumour it was an explosion at Pfizers, medical/chemical business in Sandwich, but I think that was hearsay. Glad everyone seems to be ok.

woe betides any earth quake that shakes in my ramsgate hope everybody's OK

Joy im just outside coventry and had only just moved here then was like the wave went from back of house to front first thought was a trin derailed as line not far from us or one of the planes going into cov airport had crashed, hubby went downstairs and everything had moved pictures, ornaments etc. Wasnt nice, daughters friend got thrown out of his bed .

Hope all GR members in Kent area are now recovering from the shock of being in an earthquake, and have not suffered any damage to their homes. We had a big one here in Dudley 2002, late at night, I jumped out of bed when it happened as the wall nearest my bed was visibly shaking, I ran to the window as I thought a car had smashed into the house, but saw all the other neighbours out on he street looking too, then realised what it was. Joy

Just had a reply from my mate who has been in contact with Margaret of kent... Margaret and hubby fine... Anne x

largest earthquake for 58 years,,one lady taken to hospital, not badly hurt, I think most of the quake was under the sea, just of the coast of Ashford...information is from Sky news.....I live about 40 miles from Ashford, and didn't feel anything, but up in Suffolk, which is about 120 miles from Ashford, they did, I guess it was just the way the quake went!...and the path it follows.....Lilly

Hi everyone, you can tick my name off, I am ok, I never knew anything about this I until I read the thread. I am a bit worried about Val in Kent, she lives in Ashford, and she hasn't signed in yet, perhaps she's just not logged on today. Sue

Hope everyone in the area is ok.. Margaret in Kent is one of my contacts on msn and is usually on by now if not earlier so hope she is ok... will get her phone number off another friend and ask her to ring her to see if she is ok..thats if the phone line is up and running... Will get back on this later.... Anne x
