At 12:57am, 7 minutes ago, we had quite a strong earth tremor that
lasted 30 seconds and shook the whole apartment block and in my
apartment one floor up rocked my bed backwards and forwards!

Magnitude 4.7 apparently, epicentre 30 miles south of Kingston upon Hull:

The latter is a nice map showing the epicentre and all reports that have
come in from people like me. Hover over the coloured circles to see
what they mean. Note that the size of the circle is the population of
the city/town, the colour indicates the reported intensity.
