Earthquake in South Wales?

[Mothersruin]

I may be going mad, but I swear we've just had an earthquake in South Wales!

Lasted about 15 seconds and the whole house was vibrating with a low rumble.

I'm going mad, aren't I!?

North Somerset here, had a very brief but odd vibration/movement in the house. Only last a few seconds though.

A quick search on twitter shows it was widely felt.

This is a relief, I thought it was just me!

Sounded and felt like a fully-loaded lorry driving though my hallway.

Must admit I had my headphones on around that time but thought the neighbours were putting their bins away so might have been felt here too. (Lancs)

Felt it in Swansea. Spiced up an otherwise dull Saturday for a bit!

[bloomen]

West Somerset checking in. The room shook.

[Mothersruin]

Just been outside to survey the damage...



We will rebuild!

Apols - it's been updating and getting more precise since I first posted that - they've downgraded it to a 4.7 and now to a 4.2.

Better tell the Wife to stay indoors.

Oxfam might show up looking for some action...

Felt it in South Devon whilst sleeping off a hang over. Made the bed rock from side to side a few times.
