  For what it's worth, the magnitude has been revised slightly upwards to 3.0. Although the April 07 quake was 4.3, this was still about 200 times smaller.
  
  Here's the latest downloadable British Geological Survey summary for you:

  My iron fell over and my ornaments shook. I asked my daughter next door if she felt it and she said no and laughed when I said I thought it might have been an earthquake - she said I was daft!
  
  5 minutes later while on my way to work she phoned me and said "Guess what mum ..............!!
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
