Might have been quite nasty for anyone riding in the area!

We were out and about today and didn't notice it. Knew nothing about it till the daughter phoned to see if we were OK.

 :D Mrs stet & I were sitting on the settee: there was a thud and the whole house seemed to move about three inches. At first we thought it was caused by the next-door neighbours who have been been making a racket all day moving house. Then we thought the washing machine had thrown a rod (it's been making some alarming noises for some time) and it was only thirty minutes later we learned about the earthquake.

I started a ride about 10 minutes before and didn't notice much in wilts/somerset.
