Aren't earthquakes normal for central & western Scotland (though usually small ones)? For example, Comrie area used to have frequent earthquake swarms in 18th & 19th centuries, I seem to recall.
Didn't feel anything here. Must be too far away.I slept through the 2008 one so I have yet to experience what an earthquake feels like.

Just reading this thread for the first time.
I experienced the 2008 earthquake. It was weird...I could actually hear it before I felt it. It was like a deep rumble that got closer.
It was quite amusing actually, was 19 at the time and dad came marching up the stairs asking what I was doing to vibrate the house...I had two huge floor standing speakers at the time so I guess he thought it was the bass from those!

Didn't get that one here.
The two I most remember are one in the late 1980's with I think Wrexham as the epicentre. Happened early'ish one morning when I was just getting up for school/work. The other was in the early 00's and hit Manchester where I was at work. A colleague put his hands over his head and we all took the p*ss.

Albeit not huge in the grand scheme of things, this is the second 5.4 eathquake to hit Texas in a month now, both being the equal third largest from what I can see in history, for the State, and in the same location...https://abc13.com/was-there-an-earthquake-today-in-texas-midland-tx-usgs-recent-quakes/12580889/ https://www.texastribune.org/2022/11/18/texas-earthquake-fracking-railroad-commission/

I would not be surprised if this one turned out to be a result of man-made activity too (waste water injection).
