Less than an hour ago the house shook and we did not know what it was, a bit scary. It be a been reported that it was an earthquake centred in Swansea.

Felt it here too, but more amazingly heard it 20 miles away here in Kidwelly. Yes apparently the epicentre of this latest one was Swansea, magnitude 4.7. and 6miles down!


Though back in 1984 when we lived in Burry Port our then house physically shook for what felt like 30 seconds and the epicentre of that one (mag 5.6) was on the Llyn peninsula.

PS seems as if the posting delay has been fixed too!

Cardiff felt the 1984 one. I was in work at the time on an upstairs floor and the building shook.

It's the weirdest thing isn't it. We had a similar sized one a few years back, the movement was pretty weird but the sound! Really low grumble that made you feel very uneasy came slightly before the movement.

Is Wales finally to be broken away from England? Can't help wishing it was Scotland.

I remember one centred in the North Sea several years ago. I woke in the middle of the night feeling a bit strange and heard the sound of something falling in the attic, I thought that an animal or bird must have got in and knocked something over and went back to sleep.

It was only when I got up the next morning and saw reports on the local news that it made sense and I realised that the disorientation had been due to the room shaking.

I hope not, I'm half English with a small percentage of Norman thrown in for good measure.
