On Wednesday morning at 1 o' clock, an earthquake, measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale went through thousands of houses. The epicenter was in Lincolnshire, but it was felt through much of England. I was asleep at the time, but I still felt a slight tremor.
There have been twenty call-outs of the fire brigade, but only four were necessary. A man's chimney fell off his house, causing the road to be blocked. One man said 'The whole house felt as though it was falling down'.
This has been the largest earthquake for nearly 25 years. Most of my family felt it, and the dogs ran upstairs. My brother really felt it, and he said he fell off his bed. My Mum and Dad woke up and checked that everyone was alright.
I have found last night quite exciting, but I'm sure many people did not. I hope there isn't another earthquake as that might cause more Damage.
