It was felt in nearby Workington and even across the water in Dumfries and Galloway with some people describing it as "scary". We were completely unaware of it. But now I know what happened, I recall that just after we had gone to bed I heard a noise from the attic like someone was up there and stood heavily on the rafters. I said to Olga "did you hear that?" and she said she thought it was a heavy vehicle passing on the A66. So that was how the earth moved for us.

We do hear the strange noises from the attic often as our area has a lot of minor earthquakes due to the large gasfields nearby. Because the gas is pumped out the earth is moving contstantly here. Very bad for old houses and churches. 73, Bas
