EarthQuake in UK 27 February 2008

I was sitting on my bed working on some presentation and all of a sudden I felt the bed is shaking. Then I realised actually my room was shaking. The tremors very quite
explicit and I felt them for approximately 2-3 seconds.

I felt as if somebody is shaking my house. I live in Hatfield(Hertfordshire), then I rushed look outside, but surprisingly no body was on street. I thought to find relevant details online but on success. I heard one of my flatmates talking loud in the corridor as he felt that too and he was trying to find out whether it was true or not. We both tried to find related news on BBC, but BBC was busy enough in Obama's election campaign. To my surprise when I switched on to SKY, they had the breaking news.
