Sitting here watching Sean of the Dead and I started to wobble. I live in a top floor (3rd floor) flat on a main road. Sometimes I might just feel a vibration as an artic goes by but this literally wobbled me and I looked up to see the liquid in my tall, gadget shop thermometer thing really going for it! It lasted about ten seconds. No artics going past. I live opposite an RAF base but no sound coming from there neither. Not too far from a train line but it's an underground line and it's 1 am. Any ideas? It was very strange. Thought I was losing it. Oh yeah I'm in Ruislip. I was also woken by the Bunsfield oil depot explosion. Missus said it was an explosion but I didn't believe her!

The Buncefield depot going up woke me with the noise. I live about 25 miles from there.

I felt it down here in Swindon. But to be fair I live in a new build house so the hole thing shakes when kids walk past.

Anyone got any damage, out of interest?

Poop. Lots of damage. That means it's going to be ridiculously busy at work (saga insurance) :(
