PJ of Hildisvik Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 No, aren't those Trawlers on the Tingwall Loch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ of Hildisvik Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Seems the Epicentre was close to Vementry...i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyBKing Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Certainly woke us up, nearlythewestside, epicentre looks to have been a bit close. PJ, beat me to it. If that's the Tingwall trawler harbour then global waming is raising the sea level a bit faster than we thought. We'd better get to Tescos and stock up before the 971 becomes passable only at low tide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/7830165.stmspot the mistake... Spot the mistake(s).... Plockton (HamishMacbethville) was in the West Highlands not the Western Isles last I heard....but maybe the quake moved them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeAyBee Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone found out the rating of the quake and confirmed epicentre yet? Oddly I slept through a 4.5 in San Francisco in Summer 2007 (total damage one busted window in Safeway in Oakland) and this one which felt smaller woke me up. Earthquake certainly wasn't the first thought I had, more like I'm never going to eat sprouts again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siffy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Its being reported as a 3.3. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1116983/Early-morning-earthquake-shakes-awake-sleepy-Shetland-Islanders.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Seems to be mentioning 3.3 on the Richter scale, according to ITN. Not so long after the last one:http://www.shetlink.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2000 and then of course the English one:http://www.shetlink.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4653 Terra firma seems less "firma" around here all the time. It'll be the oil wells Or perhaps the reduction in polar ice is prompting a tectonic shift. Either way, I'm sleeping with a lifejacket and a crash helmet on fae noo on, in fact to hell with it, I'm sleeping in the boat. (I slept through it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
