YCCMB Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 TOH popped over to Tesco's in Calais this morning. He's home now, and apparently didn't feel a thing.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilec Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 According to the papers today, the tunnel was designed to withstand an earthquake up to force 7. Still, I don't think I would want to be inside it at the wrong time to check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I have friends in Folkestone who had a shelf of DVDs fall down, the roof flexing badly and plaster pinging off the walls. There are now many large cracks in their house and while they were not evacuated, they were told if there were any aftershocks or if the chimney looks like it's moving then get out and stay out. Very scary, no-one could grasp what was going on. Not exactly San Andreas is it? My in-laws in Hythe were in the back garden and saw it all move. They too have many cracks in their house. Just be thankful that no-one killed and only one person hurt and that not seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 We were in the automatic check-in queue at the tunnel when it happened. It just felt like the car had been caught by a strong gust of wind. There was a half hour delay for the train we had booked - no announcement blaming earthquakes in the Folkestone area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
