4.2 on the Scale, Anyone else just feel near south wales feel that? Not my first, first was about 10yrs ago in england, must have been a head trip to people who have never experienced one, lol, still minimal compared to most countries obviously, but we aren't used to these

 

[weekev]

4.2 according to news I'm seeing. Top quality tweets already popping up. This is my favourite so far.

 

[D65]

Didn't feel shit.

Brexit means Brexit.

Mother nature agrees.

 

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

London is still standing.

 

[PhantomKnight]

Yep, my building was shaking and I thought it might have been some giant truck passing by my street, turned out to be an earthquake.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

No but I remember the one perhaps the same about 10 years ago. It was weird and wasn't sure what was really happening (it was the middle of the night as well).

 

[Dyno]

If so that was pretty unimpressive. Last time I at least felt it barely but I was laying in bed at the time.

 

[PJV3]

I remember the big UK one in the 80s, a brick wall fell over, I will never forget.

 

[MrS]

We good in the North East

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Didn't notice a thing over here in Berkshire.

 

[LL_Decitrig]

I once experienced a 7.1 quake in California. The epicentre was in Barstow and I was way down in La Jolla, but the building shook in a frightening way. A 4.7 quake has less than 1/250th of the energy (10^(4.7-7.1)), so if it was in Wales I don't think I'd notice it here in Sunderland.

Liverpool, didn't feel shit

Nothing in north west England

We did get a tremor about 10 years ago.

 

[cognizant]

Didn't feel anything, though someone on reddit in west London did. People made 'yo mamma' jokes in response, poor bastard.

 

[Deleted member 923]

Yeah I felt it, was a weird feeling.

 

[NeonCarbon]

Yep, woke me up, apartment building was shaking. Interesting for me, but obviously not for people in more active countries.
Mostly South Wales, South West and parts of lower Midlands would have felt it (but some people still don't).

 

[mu cephei]

Oh wow that's what that was. Definitely felt it, the house shook. Apparently the epicentre was Swansea, I'm about 35 miles away.

 

[Taffer]

My dad felt it but I didn't, what a rip off.

 

[cognizant]

What time did it occur? I checked that BBC article but it didn't say. I did wake at 5am for no reason today...*strokes chin in thought*

 

[Sparse]

Yeah, felt it in Bristol. Had no idea what the hell was happening.

 

[Zomba13]

South Wales here. Didn't feel it. Might have been because I was asleep. I dunno. I slept late.

About an hour ago. What else did your dream predict?

Ah, an hour ago I was on a train or walking on a high street. Didn't feel anything. Though I get seasick easily, so the idea of the ground moving underneath me...does not appeal to me at all.

 

[Timbuktu]

What is the likelihood of this being fracking related?

This is my favourite reponse haha

 

[Breqesk]

Nothing on the South-East coast. I'm kinda disappointed now--last time we had an earthquake here, I slept through it.

 

[TheLinguist]

My bed shook but that was it. It was so minor that I didn't even realise it was an earthquake until a friend in Wales asked me if I felt it. My family didn't feel it. I'm on the south west coast btw.

 

[s_mirage]

Birmingham here. Felt nothing.

 

[RabbidPeach]

Didn't feel it. I was walking outside.

Now we'll have to endure countless Facebook posts of bins laying on the ground with shitty captions like "Earthquake cripples UK"

 

[Techno]

I was outside all day today, didn't feel nuffin m8.

 

[Deleted member 4247]

Didn't feel it.

I'm in Sweden, could maybe have something to do with it.

 

[Deleted member 3196]

I felt it here in Cardiff. Never felt one before, so I was a little weirded out by it at first.

 

[Barberetti]

Nothing in Hampshire.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

All my mates in Cardiff, Cwmbran and Pontypool felt it. I'm in Stevenage though so nothing here.

I wonder why every small quake uses this exact pic. Surely there are other examples of laughably minor damage they can use.

 

[Mr Pricklefingers]

Nah bugger all

 

[MrLuchador]

I can report that Hadrian's Wall is still standing, as is the Byker Wall, and yes, yes I believe that even the garden fence the wind keeps blowing over is still standing too.

It's on Memegenerator so it's just easier to use.

Yep, felt it here in Weston-super-mare. Was sitting on a wheeled chair in the shop, the floor shook and I slid backwards.

I demand a re-quake, I didn't get anything!

Exact same thing in Liverpool, bed shook a little but not enough for me to think anything of it until I saw the news about it.

 

[Deleted member 1726]

I'm still in the bath tub, is it safe to come out?

 

[Joe Spangle]

I remember the one about 10 years ago.

One of the books on my shelf wobbled about a bit. It was weird.

 

[Sasari]

Yup I was in the Heath at the time on the fourth floor and the entire room shook. Thought it was an explosion or something.

 

[BosSin]

Unless it was related to the shaking caused by my fart, no
