**** you. When Katrina hit the US, Britain sent lots of aid and now all you can do is berate Britain's natural disasters. You ****er.

Let's see... Beep says one 30 year old woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Yep, the releaf flights are in route.

Why is Oerdin such a callous *******?

how much aid would we have had to send to england if katrina had hit london?

[Zkribbler]

However little, it'd be more than we sent to New Orleans.

The BBC don't know ****. The woman was in fact 40 and en route to the hospital she needed to stop in to say hi to her friend Doris who was worried about her.

Has your hatred of Bush so blinded you to the suffering of others in real pain?

Tsunami fears as earthquake hits UK

Large parts of coastal South East Britain were put on Tsunami alert after an earthquake struck Kent at breakfast time this morning.

The epicenter of the 5.0 magnitude tremor was located 12km south of Dover out in the Dover Straits in the English Channel.

Worried residents too lazy to get up at a sensible time such as 7am spoke of their terror as everything began to shake at about 8.15 this morning:

A Mr Smith who lives in Dover, said: "It was about 8.15 when suddenly the bed shook violently.

"Hallo! I said to myself, what could this be?

"Maybe it's the wife's vibrator, or she's suddenly got er.... cramp or a seizure or something.

"But then I saw the curtains were moving and the house was shaking. And when I looked outside the whole earth was moving.

"It lasted about 1.5 seconds," Mrs Smith said later, "that's about the usual time for round about here."

"All the power's gone off and there's a strange smell about the place, the sort you usually get when some VIP or politician is coming down for a televised visit."

Meanwhile in London seismologists at the Ministry of Defence immediately identified the tremor as emanating from the site of a sunken Russian nuclear submarine, the Balalaika, which Boris Yeltsin had attempted to use to nuke the UK in January 1995 before the Royal Navy intercepted and downed the offending beastie.

The Balalaika is known to have sunk into the Channel's five mile deep quicksand preventing any form of rescue effort.

Today's tremor was met with a quick response from the Environment Agency. With the Spring tides already high and a full moon due on Tuesday the Thames Barrier was raised by yet another sixty feet and South Coast residents issued with sandbags stuffed with material meant for landfill sites.

"There could be aftershocks," an official statement said.

Because it allows people to make petty snipes at him?

LOL at 4-5 EQs frightening people! If you weren't moving it'd give you a fright, but it's not the sort of size you notice if you're even walking about in NZ...

Yes, the New Madrid fault doesn't go off as much as the San Andreas fault, but when it does, it is much worse.
