I felt the earthquake at 2,53 in Dover the house shook and it lasted for 5 seconds only.
It was a strange feeling of being out of control.
Keep safe. #supportnepal

I felt my whole house shake. It was really scary. At first I thought maybe someone was breaking into my house. Then I thought maybe one of my family members was having a fit causing the bed to shake. So I was glad neither of those happened. But I never want to experience that again!

On the Isle of Sheppey I was woken up by bed shaking, thought a lorry had hit the small block of flats I live in and looked out to check but saw nothing. Now know that it was an earthquake.
