The earthquake. How long did it last?

</p>

I was doing some artwork aroundone o'clock, I noticed something but I was so engrossed that Idismissed it asa particularly powerful gust of wind. Was it just a few seconds?</p>

 

10 seconds ish. I thought it was a gust of wind too at first then the whole house shook.

If you were conscious you couldn't fail to notice it. It lasted for 10-15 seconds.

I've been known to be stood next to a fight in a pub and not notice it. I noticed something somewhere on the edge of my consciousness but I was sublimating a giant posterised Billy Casper onto aluminium wall panels at the time so you could probably have run a sixteen wheeler through the house and it would have barely registered.</p>

 

I agree with the above, however, talking to a drama queen in the playground ...

... this morning, &quot;it went on about 15 minutes. I could barely stand and things were flying off the dressing table. All I wanted to do was check on the kids but I couldn't get there&quot;</p>

Believe which you will .............</p>

You just wouldn't, would you!

'Police in the Midlands received more than 5,000 calls in hour and in Dudley 12 people walked into the police station in their pyjamas.'</p>

It was his own fault then

'A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said that "some sort of fancy stonework" had become dislodged.'

I can just imagine him saying this while rolling his eyes and putting on an expression and tone that say "Well, you didn't see any folk with NORMAL stonework getting injured, did you?"
