Weren't we warned 2018 might see an uptick in quakes?

I take it the rest of the western side of UK felt that?

I think it's centred in S. Wales?

EDIT: Swansea , 4.9

We were driving back from Poole so never noticed anything. Apparently quite obvious in Weymouth area.

No reports from anyone I know in Dublin, as yet.

Early days though.

Saw a map on the news last night showing locations of earthquake reports - didn't notice Dublin as I was too busy scanning the south coast for the brief time it was shown. But on the south coast, reports as far east as Southampton and Winchester and all points west from there to Cornwall. Nothing noticed here in West Sussex.

Neath quake felt right down to the south coast if the reports in the link are accurate. Impressive.

Small earthquake in Surrey - not many people noticed, and it was before anyone fracked the area. As someone said on the news, the Italians wouldn't bother to get out of bed for it

Reports nevertheless of it being felt as far away as Norwich. But earthquake motion can be amplified if buildings are on alluvial or unconsolidated sediments, while those on hard strata suffer no damage. Cf Lisbon 1755 or Christchurch NZ 2010.

It was over in a couple of seconds here and I would have carried on assuming it had been a large lorry going past nearby if I hadn't read this morning about the earthquake.

At least it will be mild!
