Earthquake Hitting UK

On the 27th of February at 1 AM local time, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 hit Market Rasen at the North East of Lincolnshire and the tremor was felt across the UK. This has claimed to be the biggest earthquake ever occur since 25 years ago. Fortunately, apart from some minor injuries no major casualty was reported so far.
During the incident, i was getting ready to hit shower after work. Can't imagine what would it be like if it happen while i am showering. I will definitely s*** myself and jump out from the bath tub without covering myself that's for sure. When i first felt the tremor i thought some jerks must have closed their door so hard that the wall in my room are actually shaken by it. But when it persisted for a few seconds, i knew that something is not right as i can literally saw and felt the wall as well as the floor was trembling. Never in my life that i encounter such terrifying but at a same time intriguing moment. Soon as it stopped, i went out from my room and ask Ali whether he felt the tremor. He didn't even know what's going on! After much explanation to him, he made a few calls to his mates and find out that it was actually an earthquake. Later that morning, almost every news channel here reporting about the incident.
I hope this is the ONE TIME earthquake that i am ever going to experience for now and for the next 25 years 'cause if it happen again and it's coming back BIG (touch wood), i don't think i'm going to survive from the falling of a 6 floor building!
