A good 10 seconds I felt it for here in Blackool.
My house made creaks and other noises and I heard rumbling a bit like distant thunder
First one I've ever felt, really nasty

Did she blame it on the tremor or did the skip suddenly dissapear. :-)

Which is a bit odd, because I felt it, and had it rattle things on the tables here in Cenral Hants. I had to hold down a TV which started to go for a walk.

Heard 5.3 quoted just now. Having worked in California, I know you can get different estimates from different monitoring stations.

The 4.7 was the first reading made available by the USGS, BGS later estimated 5.1 then revised it to 5.3
The BGS web site collapsed into a smouldering heap within 3 minutes of the quake, while the USGS one managed to collect 1000 "felt reports" and plot them on a map showing the epicentre within half an hour.

Err, check the sig?
I was at the top of the house which was swinging side to side. The computer monitor rocking quite violently. Far worse than in a high wind. Quite scary.
