UK about 6am

Did anyone else just have there whole house just shake?
I turned on the news to hear some guy reporting outside the foreign office say he just heard an explosion. He's in london and im 40 miles away lol.

Well, here in the Cable and Wireless NMC in Reading we have had no significant reports of anything happening. If there was a large enough explosion in London for you to hear it 40 miles away, my map would be red.

Holy cow some huge explosion near st albans jesus it must of been a huge explosion

I have no idea what your on about. We have News 24 on now and the BBC website too, nothing mentioned.

To be fair, a chap from BT just told me that there is an explosion in St Albans........

Something on BBC News 24 now, breaking news. Good heads up perspic

LOL i was sat here reading ats and i nearly jumped out of my skin lol as i turned to the tv the guy talking outside the foreign office said he heard an explosion lol
I'm in aylesbury so its a fair distance from me but it must be massive.

Indeed they are...Well done dude, sorry for my scepticism....

Although I am puzzled by the apparent "foreign office" guy in London who confirmed them on the news?

Although, prob Gas explosions by the look of it.

As i said i heard and felt it so i suppose my distance is about the same as to the foreign office.

How far? Its near J8 of the M1, the fuel depot there.

If you could hear it from 40 miles away, I would have heard it too.

I had 1 of my windows open and they aint double glazed and hemel is just down the road from me. I did feel the shockwave though thats what made me jump more than anything.

I said 40 miles as per the report from foreign office hemel however is about 10-15 mules away.
