I was in a 7.0 in Manila which went on for about a minute at 3am and was proper scary rolling around on a bed. Two days before that I was on a beach in the Philippines and there had been an earthquake just before and we got an aftershock. The beach moved under my bum. This one today was very much like the beach aftershock one. I was laying on my sofa reading and the sofa moved.

You should use some extra polygrip on your dentures in case there's an aftershock mate.didn't notice anything but not long up

Experts predict a second, larger earthquake, with a possible magnitude of 7.5. They say it could potentially cause £37 worth of damage.
Or should you loot stuff before the panic buying startsShould i panic buy stuff before the looting starts?

I felt it very slightly in Nuneaton. Unlike the 2 other earthquakes I have felt in the past when sitting in this room, I was not sure if this one was an earthquake or not. Well, my initial reaction was 'is this an earthquake?' but then nothing else happened, whereas in the past the shaking went on for long enough that I could sit around for a while watching stuff moving slightly. Or leap up and run downstairs, or a bit of both. No time for that this time.
Having now learnt where the earthquake was, I'm impressed I felt it at all.

Although it might be fairer to say I only just felt it and it its more a case of the sound being more of an earthquake tip-off for me in general. The sound of the building and various objects vibrating a bit. In this case after the initial slight feeling and building sounds, a few seconds later a cardboard box made a brief sound as it moved slightly in its position wedged between an external wall and some furniture.

A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE MEASURING 4.4 ON THE RICHTER SCALE, HIT IN THE EARLY
HOURS OF Saturday 17 Feb 2018 EPICENTERED ON SWANSEA SOUTH WALES.
Victims can be seen wandering aimlessly muttering : "How be?", "Tidy" and "Can't fault it butt...".
The Earthquake decimated the area, causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish Costas were damaged.
Three areas of historic and scientifically significant burnt out cars were disturbed.
Many were woken well before their giro arrived. Thousands are confused and bewildered, trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting has happened in Swansea.
One resident, Sara-Angharrod Davies, a 15 year old mother-of-five said "It was such a shock, little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it. I was still shaking when I was watching Killroy Silk the next morning."
Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime did carry on as normal.
The British Red Cross have so far managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken masses. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and bone china from Everythings a Pound.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
This appeal is to raise clothing and food parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in it.
Clothing is most sought after. Items required include: -
Fila Baseball Caps, Kappa Tracksuit tops (His and Hers), Shell Suits (Female), White Sports Socks, Nike Air Basketball Boots and any other items usually sold in TK Maxx.
Food parcels may be harder to put together but necessary all the same.
Required foodstuffs include: -
Microwave meals, Tins of Baked Beans, Ice Cream and cans of Colt 45 or
Special Brew. £2 buys chips, scraps and blue pop for a family of four.
£10 can take a family to Port Talbot for the day, where children can play on a radio active beach infront of the national collection of Steel works.
£1.68 pays for a return bus ticket to the country side where they can pick magic mushrooms to feed the family. 22p buys a biro for filling in a spurious compensation claim.
Please do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of "posh" housing is unfair on the population of neighbouring areas of Gorseinon, Llanelli and Clydach.

Actually bollocks to that, the wobbly shakey feeling is still the big clue, I was focussing more on sounds in this case because there was nothing else after the first few seconds.
I've never been in a big or extremely close earthquake but there was one I felt here sometime earlier this century that made me freak out a bit because of how long it went on for. And the way the shaking steadily increased in intensity for what felt like whatever but was probably not long. Associated sounds increasing in volume was part of me pooping it.

As far as I can see it's an aftershock of the Dudley earthquake of 2002 when I received the same email about 20 times.
