Last night at 1am an earth quake tremor rolled through the Waveney region.
The British Geological Survey said the epicentre of the quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. It measured 5.3 in magnitude.
“We awoke to feel the bed ‘vibrating’ like one of those beds they have in American motels. A slight feeling of panic was felt as the tremor intensified, not knowing what it was, when it was going to peak, or how severe it would be.
It passed through our house in an east to west direction. We have never experienced anything like it before.”
