We had to spend the night sleeping in the car!

Which quake? This one or the one in March? This was was hardly noticed on land, there was no damage and no injuries as a result of the quake or the 4" tsunami (if 4" counts as a tsunami). But if you mean the March quake, then no, it doesn't.

England is pretty boring. It is probably all health and safety rules we have, even the weather has to obey to the rules!

Ah i'm from East Yorkshire and i do remember that, I think a couple of roof tiles fall off my house and thats it. :/

Are we talking about the one which the epicentre was in Hull?~
It was around 1am, and I was woke by the glasses on my desk clinking together.
I just had a nightmare about Nukes. Scariest. Moment. Ever.

Either way, that was on the other side of the country in Gloucester.
That being said; it felt and sounded awesome.

I'm so putting that on my next calc exam!

They had another earthquake??

Seriously, if I lived in Japan, I would pick up and leave. It's like living in California, you're just asking for trouble. I'd be like, "Eff this, I'm out."

I grew up in Detroit, where the only natural disasters you worried about were ice storms and obscene amounts of snow. Since moving to Missouri, I'm now surrounded by tornadoes. That's bad enough. >.<

Ah, but where you don't have to worry about Earthquakes beyond magnitudes of 4 (we had a "big" one just last week) there are typically other natural disasters you have to contend with instead. Where I live in south-eastern Australia, that means bushfires.

Swapping one natural disaster for the other...
