Just wondering if anybody here felt the explosion this morning? If I was awake at 6am (fat chance!) I probably would have, I am far down south but apparently it was felt in Folkstone which is further away (far south east).

Interestingly it measured 2.4 on the richter scale (PDF), presumably the effects that people felt far away were from a pressure wave because a 2.4 event wouldn't be felt more than a few tens of miles away.

edit: Just been reading Pistonheads (car enthusiast site) and this thread is pretty cool, people being woken up and then posting on the forum.
edit 2: Good video here, better than anything I've seen on the news.
