My bed started shaking and a couple of DVD's fell off of the shelf, then I searched earthquake on Twitter and it's all over there.

We need to take this seriously and authorities actually need to start handing out leathlets/guides on how to keep safe during an earthquake.
This year earthquakes have obviously been going around the world like a mexican wave. I think there was another one somewhere yesterday. I've been fearing since the beginning of the year that eventually something will happen in britain. I'm scurred. They better give us leaflets on safety. All I know is to stand underneath a door.

Earthquakes don't happen in Britain often, so theres no point handing out safety leaflets it'd be a complete waste of money. They only occur in the after stresses in major faultlines in the earths crust send shockwaves down faults which lie within the UK

That's the wrong attitude. We're not invincible. I can't remember I think an earthquake hit japan not too long ago. I was googling to find an article on that but instead found that another earthquake hit japan again :bored:

Strong Earthquake Hits Off Southern Japan

A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.4 has struck in the Pacific Ocean, triggering a tsunami warning off the southern coast of Japan.
