Sitting listening to music & my 4th floor flat trembled a bit. Reports from all over the country
Anyone else feel it ?

Not a quiver in York. The epicentre appears to be the DVLA.

My eldest daughter just asked me if there had been one here - I didn't feel it.

Have you been cranking up the bass line?

At that time we would have just got into the car in Aberaeron to drive back, so felt nothing.

That's because I was a bit miffed they haven't sorted out my licence yet and the letter I received this morning said I'll have to wait another 2 months.

Fucksake. I was riding the trike at the time. That thing's a non-stop earthquake. :(

I'm in the Cheshire Basin, about 20 miles S of Chester and didn't feel it - but I was outside at the time doing a bit of gardening. Bit disappointed as being a now retired professional geologist 'bagging' earthquakes has been a bit of a hobby.
I felt the Lleyn and Bishops Castle events in 84 and 86, one in St Vincent in 2005 (a 6.4 between St V and Martinique that rattled the windows and you could see the ground waves - a colleague and I exited our villa pretty sharpish once I realised what was happening), and a biggie in Crete in 2015. Was in bed when that one hit and I told the wife off for jumping about whilst I was trying to read - and she said that she'd not moved, and then I knew what was going on! We were in a high rise hotel so had to sit tight and hope for the best. Aftershocks kept waking us all night.
So today's event got away. Dammit.

The BBC reported the epicentre as being somewhere near
Cilybebyll Cwmllynfell , so a mile 6 miles or so from here (assuming they can be that accurate) and 4 miles down. Yes, we felt it. I turned round to see who had sneaked in and shaken my chair. Then a bit of rumbling for a few seconds which sounded as if it was coming from the room next door.

Ah San Andreas it is not ( I am glad to say).

It has taken a few moments of interweb research to discover something which has been puzzling me for a while.
And that thing is 'WTF is FurryBootToon' all about? ;D :thumbsup:

My son reports that he felt another shock. In the small hours of Sunday morning in Birmingham.
Anyone else?
Nothing on the interwebs.

I was mostly asleep.

No, I've only ever felt earthquakes in California and Japan (fortunately minor ones, but it's quite a peculiar sensation). We did miss a UK earthquake, but caught the aftermath (made somewhat weirder by the fact we didn't know there'd been a earthquake). We were coming to the end of a hike and emerged into Folkestone, and started to notice odd bits of masonry on the pavement, bits of chimney and walls. A fair amount of minor damage. It wasn't until we got to the offy for a couple of beers for the journey home we discovered there'd been an earthquake (2007 says the internet, blimey it doesn't seem that long ago).

Despite being a lot closer than Andrew C, I didn't feel a thing. Several people here did though – and some of them said other people in the same house or even same room didn't feel it, so it seems some people are more sensitive than others.
-
I didn't feel it as I was away ooop North.
I did feel one about 15 years ago, it was after midnight and the house shook slightly, with this really weird sensation of the walls looking all wobbly.
-
I felt it quite strongly whilst at my mother's in Wiltshire on Saturday, so much so I went outside to see if part of the roof had caved in or the chimney breast collapsed. Everyone thought I was mad when I suggested an earth tremor so was glad to be vindicated when it appeared on the evening national news!

I've only felt/heard one earthquake - it wasn't dramatic at all - very very low rumble bass sound, then glasses jingling on the shelves. Lasted less than 2 minutes. I was alone in the house at the time, I think I was about 13.
After effects were rather serious though; about one third of my parent's house started to part company with the rest. Insurance refused to pay up, due to the non-standard construction (home-cast blocks by the original settlers) and no proof of decent foundations. Dad solved it with railway tracks angled sleepers against the walls, to secondary concrete foundations.

Once you've cracked that one, work on the stage name of the lead singer of the Rezillos.

Heard a bang followed by 10 seconds of plate rattling from the kitchen cupboards.
