The Internation Herald Tribune Europe says:



LONDON: A moderate earthquake rattled parts of southeast England Saturday morning, toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds.

Several thousand people were left without power after the quake in the county of Kent. The only reported casualty was a woman with minor head and neck injuries, the ambulance service said.

"It literally felt like the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride," said Sharon Hayles of Stanford, southeast England.

The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. (0719 GMT) and was centered under the English Channel, about 14 kilometers (8 1/2 miles) south of Dover. The area is about 60 miles (100 kilometers) southeast of London.

The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 4.7.



God bless, my Brits!!!

It was quite a big one, news reports say somebodys coffee mug fell off of the table in one household.

my return to life clearly had a physical effect on the UK. for that, i apologise. luckily, nobody was seriously injured but i hope that all insurances work out.
