I woke up, mainly because people were txting me to see if I felt it, but
I do vaguely remember something that made me stir.

I live in Skendleby, kind of mid way between skegness and ludborough the
reported epicentre (nr Market Rasin) my main concern was my sister in
Gainsbourgh and the school. They seam to have had the brunt of it with
quite a few chimneys and the like falling, and in Skegness it caused a
fire apparently but I can't find anywhere I can confirm that.

I am surprised that Grimsby didn't catch it hot though, its even nearer.
Then again I'm no geologist so I don't know about patterns of
destruction given off by a quake.


Kind regards
