I was sound asleep when my son came in and woke me asking if I'd just heard a loud bang and then the house shaking. I was half asleep and had no idea what he was on about. He said he thought something had gone into the wall round the house and he got dressed and went to investigate. Came back saying he couldn't see anything. I thought he must have been dreaming and went back to sleep.

Got up to the news that Teesside had had a 2.8 earth tremor. Luckily no damage.

It wasn't scary for me Maggie - I didn't hear or feel a thing. My son was a bit worried though.
