I'm in Welwyn Garden City (about 15miles away) and we thought somebody had kicked the door in so I dived out of bed ready to confront intruders My two cockatiels were going mental as they'd fallen from their perches.

I then realised we had car alarms going off in the street. I actually thought we'd had another small earthquake like the other year. As the adrenaline was going I couldn't settle so put the telly on and reports were filtering through to Sky news by not much after 6:10.

People are now flapping about fuel

Crikey, just been watching this on the news, I thought they were joking when they said people up to 20 mile away heard/felt the explosion.

Big chunk of the M1 is closed aswell, thats gonna cause some chaos

It's well known that Guinea Pigs die from sudden fright, so that'd be the reason...
