About 10 mins ago me and the Mrs heard a deep rumble and then the sofa moved!
We're in north Bradford
I'm in Bingley, didn't notice anything.
What did you have for tea?
Ah. I think I can explain.
My mate Andrew lives up that way. He does like to partake of the odd curry now and then. Tis possible he may have had a pickled egg earlier. He is a known lover of sprouts.
I shall make my investigations...
Bradford you say?
*refrains from posting further amusing, but possibly racist comments, as not to cause offence to any person whatsoever*
Mining subsidence?
Often happens in our house after a roast dinner...no one ever owns up...

lol.. 😉
Yes, felt it here in Skipton. Also reported by people in Hebden Bridge, Swaledale, York, Kendal, Darlington.
Nope.
yes, Baildon. Like the whole house shook.
'quake?
Here in Rawdon Leeds as well. All the bloody needles from the christmas tree are now on the floor
mates in Harrogate and York felt it
Well there you go, epicentre in Ripley and magnitude of 3.7
Must admit it didnt feel half as bad as the one 2 years ago in Sheffield.
Yep , we got a rumble here in Horsforth ,Leeds 18. thought we had kids banging into my roofbox in the back garden.
I was just in the smallest room at the exact time and I swear that I heard the deep rumblings of a local quake down here in the Midlands, no movement of house as per previous quakes but unmistakeable noise. Where I live the bedrock is within feet of the surface of the whole area. Just a bit concerning that this area is one that has been earmarked for deep long term storage of nuclear waste material due to the stability of the bedrock (oh and the fact that there no doubt is an old cold war bunker at the nearby army camp.)
Ripley? I looked at the map, copied the coordinates into Google Maps & it came up as Hunslet 😯
No didn't feel a thing here in Bingley, was maybe up in Wilsden tho about 1hr ago, didn't feel anything there tho either.
Did you see anyone wearing a "bomber jacket"?
Epicentre in Ripley - that's about 2 miles from my house. I was in St Jimmy's Hospital in Leeds visiting my mum so missed it.

Steady in the ranks!
Your right the proper coordinates suggest Leeds it was a google search that came out with loads of people saying Ripley...
I'm in York and felt or heard nothing.
News just stated Ripon and Ripley felt it most
We're 8 miles from Ripley in Ripon and felt it quite well. Sofa seemed to move at the same time as noise from upstairs which sounded like the kids jumping out of bed. Only lasted a second or two but it was quite exciting for Ripon!! 😀 The wife didnt believe me till she checked the kids who were both fast asleep.
further suggestions that it might have been centred under the north sea.
Felt it just outside newcastle. Dust down the chimney etc. A bit freaky when you are half asleep.
Those co-ordinates seem to come up in Arla diaries in Leeds - pint of milkshake in the morning anyone?
"further suggestions that it might have been centred under the north sea"
Does that mean Hull is going to get a tsunami.... that would be a shame !
Didnt feel anything heard a strange "whooshing" type noise. up here in the glorious N.E.
Yes, in Newcastle. My double bass rattled against the beam it's propped up against and the computer monitor wobbled. I felt it quite clearly through the floorboards, too. It was strong enough to have me walking around the gardens thinking that it had been a tree hitting the house.
Felt very strongly here (near Settle in the Yorkshire Dales). Mrs had me out with a torch to see what the rumble was - Doh!
I assume it was all us yorkshiremen dropping our wallets in disgust at the VAT increase.

Sounded like a Chinook here in Embsay, Skipton. The sofa moved for me!
Heard a rumble here near Keswick - very similar to the other week when there was an earthquake in Coniston. Was it just after 9pm?
EDIT - link above says 9.03pm - so yes, I heard it

😆
Propperly loling here!
Surely the VAT increase doesn't effect us seeing as we never open our wallets 😉
My whippets started barking
My cat slept through it
