wilto Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Doing some D.I.Y. this afternoon, and then OMFG my house started shaking along with a really loud rumbling noise. My first reaction was a plane crashed really close by, as I live under the main flight path to America, only last night I was watching a program about the Lockerbie disaster. Thankfully it was ONLY a small earthquake, it really scared me for a minute. Went out into the street and all my neighbours were out as well. Turns out the epicenter of the earthquake was about 10 miles away, really unnerving experience. Did the earth move for anyone else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke4efc Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I didn't feel anything up north, but lots of reports from my area too so no idea. I was only sat on the settee watching tv too so should've felt something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontro Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I've felt earthquakes before (last one I remember was a 4.6), but didn't notice this one at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilto Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Lol, apparently it caused £4.50 worth of damage in Merthyr Tydfil, cars even fell of their block's. The local council have set up an appeal for donations of pot noodles and Shell suites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I was having a dump. I just presumed I'd nipped off a big one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansallis Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yep! Definitely noticed it! Was hungover and stood up at the time so thought it was probably just me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
