Hi there, its Peter here with your Levy Letter. On tonight's programme, more than twenty-four hours on since the quake and your stories are still coming in about what happened to you. We'll be sharing the best stories on tonight's Look North. Plus the earthquake experts are busy digging into the ground near the epicentre of the quake at Market Rasen and we'll be reporting on their work too.
Emails, texts and answer phone messages have been sent in to us since the quake, so thank you so much for those. It seems like a lot of people just want to share their experiences, so here are a couple. My experience was just terrible. I was stood getting changed when I got thrown across the room to the floor by the door only to meet my mother shouting, was it a bomb!! I was petrified. I thought I was going to fall through the floor. I then got into bed, which I was shaken out of. I hit the ground with a thud. Theres no name with that note, but this frightened viewer said they were from East Keal near Spilsby. And some young viewers here. Thanks go to Lauren and Rebecca for their email and theyre aged twelve. I felt the earthquake last night. My room was shaking and my alarm clock fell off the shelf. I was really scared. It sounded like rumbling and I was too scared to get out of bed. It all seems quite surreal now dont you think that we actually had an earthquake in our region! But obviously for many people across our region, it was certainly a very scary experience. Can you imagine living in America where these sorts of things happen far more regularly! Ken from North Lincolnshire wanted me to share his thoughts about the tremors. Dear Peter, What a tremendous job the emergency services have done since the earthquake and on numerous other occasions. Isn't it time the government gave people like Glenn Ramsden and Mike Thomas a well deserved decoration or honour - they must have been working non stop since 1 a.m. Well Glenn from Humberside Fire and Rescue and Mike Thomas, whos the Chief Fire Officer for Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue were both working hard that night and since. But theyre part of a team too, so thanks from the BBC too go to the whole emergency services for their help and reassurance after the quake! And heres a request too from Ian Loxley of the Cloud Appreciation Society. Hes wondering if anyone noticed a flash of light during the recent earthquake. Well did you? I think most people were fast asleep prior to the rumbles, but if you were awake, or if you were outside, then did you notice any flashes of light outside? Email me in if you did. And keep emailing me about any stories you think we should be covering. I know the police are telling us all to be vigilant for structural damage to our homes in the days since the tremors, any loose chimneys that we might not have noticed straight away or any gas leaks too. So keep in touch with me and let me know if theres any damage to your home. As I say, well be getting the latest on the damage report to our region on the programme tonight. Also tonight on Look North, livestock farmers across the East Riding and Lincolnshire are bracing themselves for a possible outbreak of Bluetongue later in the spring. In an effort to contain any possible spread, the Government has announced movement restrictions on animals. We'll be reporting on how farmers across the region will cope if Bluetongue strikes. Plus in sport, we're at Hull FC where there's good and bad news on the injury front. Shaun Berrigan is out, but some of the other first team players could be back for this weekends game. And we've been at Sincil Bank as Peter Jackson prepares to hand over the reigns of power while he has cancer treatment. But well be asking if he leaves the Imps in a good position! Thats all on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me. One of Look Norths directors, Mike, has asked me for a particular request to go into the Levy Letter today. I know there have been some spectacular sunsets recently and there are lots of amazing photos of them in our inbox, so thanks for those. But he for one is delighted at the change in temperature at the moment and the sunshine and wonders if you could perhaps send in any snaps that reflect the change in season! I know the daffodils and snowdrops are popping up in gardens, so maybe some lovely flower pictures. Or am I right in thinking were in the lambing season now have you got some cute lamb pictures thatll really reflect Spring time for us! As always, please be careful when taking any pictures for us. Make sure youre safe to do so, and when youve got that special picture, then please send it to us. Either send it electronically as an attachment to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or pop it in the post to BBC Look North, Queen's Court, Queen's Gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. I look ! forward to seeing them and Im sure Mike says thank you too! Well, that's it from me for now. Enjoy your day and join me tonight if you can.
