swansea earthquake?

[davesgcr]

There was one in that area in 1906 , rattled the best china on the dressers , caused some panic down the mines (they actually had them in those days) .....

There are some well known geological fault lines around - so probably just a bit of stressing etc.

'Earthquake' hits Wales

I remember many years ago there was an earthquake in the middle of the night and the picture that hung above my bed wobbled a bit.

Took the picture down, never put it back up again. You can never be too careful.

No joke, my flat in Bristol shook around 2:30 this afternoon.

I remember the big quake of 2008.
I thought that upstairs had bought at least three new washing machines and were inconsiderately running the spin cycle on all of them at 3 in the morning

I live in cardiff and missed it completely.

 

[krtek a houby]

I remember the one that went off in the Irish Sea, sometime in the mid 80s. Was quite an experience, back then.

Very meh about them these days, I don't particularly like them. Just in case they turn out to be destructive etc.

Excellent interview with EARTHQUAKE WITNESS RICHARD SMITH:

Police confirm Bristol buildings reported damaged in earthquake

 

[AnnaKarpik]

Daughter's building was shaking apparently, in Hereford. She was worried her telly would fall over. Thought something had driven into the side of the building.

 

[Casual Observer]

Good job Olly Murs wasn't down there.

First of many....leaving Europe isn't easy.

 

[Virtual Blue]

Haha...how can I have missed this thread!

 

[cupid_stunt]

I remember one that hit the Midlands, sometime around the late 80s or early 90s, I was living in a top-floor/3rd flat In Taunton.

I am in a armchair, my mate is on the settee, I am passing the spliff, and things start moving a bit, we looked at each other & just cracked-up, we thought it was the weed.

It wasn't until the next day that I heard on the radio that the earth-quark had been felt as far a field as Taunton, that made me smile.

My lovely Japanese friend pronounces the word arse-quack. I have never corrected her because in my mind that is what they are.

The word going around South Yorkshire is there will be a repeat of the Swansea earthquake on Tuesday evening.
This will be a result of all the Sheffield Wednesday fans bottom lips thudding onto the floor following their defeat in the FA Cup replay!
