Did the Earth move for you?

1am in the Midlands and I'm pretty sure we just had a small earthquake (earth tremor?).

I'm really glad I found your comments! I'm working at my pc and suddenly the whole of my desk and everything on it began rocking about. It went on for about 30 seconds. Scared me to death. I went downstairs with a machete in my hand, to make sure no one was trying to break in......lol
