"It was quite frightening. I never felt anything like it in my life before. The chair seemed to rock and the floor seemed to come up a bit. The secondary double-glazing also rattled."

I moved to Hawaii just before the 7.2 quake hit near my home in the California Hi-desert. (Just in time for a hurricane).

I guess they aren't used to anything significant in England although the potential evidently exists for 6.0 plus quakes.

When you posted "not many dead", I guess you were referring to heart attacks.
