Earthquake In Bristol

[webbo3]

Anyone in the south west feel it about 2:30ish, couldn’t believe it until I checked twitter and Facebook and all my friends in Bristol felt it as well, they just confirmed it on Sky news.

Didn't notice anything in Plymouth.

I remember an earth quake in 2008. I remember it because my dad was in a hospice and I was asleep next to his bed and it woke me up.

Not in Brizzle, but have experienced a couple in SW Scotland and further afield.

The thing that struck me the first time was the booming sound, not what I would have expected although it makes sense.

It seems it was centred in Swansea.

I felt it just south of Bristol. Is there any damage anywhere?

My son who works nights, said he thought someone was shaking his bed! I told him not to be silly....

I once felt an earthquake when living in Brooklyn...it felt like a an underground train right underneath me. I was in my ground floor flat...and not anywhere near the subway.

All the "aid" workers are heading for Swansea for a knees up then?

I heard something, but it was only when I arrived home about 30 mins ago, that I found out what it was.
