    Did anyone feel the earthquake? Magnitude 4.4. Biggest one for 10 years in the UK. I didn't notice!:doh: :snorky:

    Yep.. I'm not far from the epicentre. @pamsdish probably felt it bit more.

    Thought Kim Jong unleashed his nukes for a second.. looked out the back window saw nothing then the cat jumped from behind the sofa so just thought it was him scratching it! No less than 2 mins later my mam rings to check we're all ok and say it was an earthquake.

    Crazy. Would not like to feel one at a higher magnitude.. ever.

    EDIT: Should have said I've hurt my foot so was spaced out on cocodamol at the time.. hence confusion with cat. Strange experience lol

                    It was very noticeable here, the centre was Cymllynfell, about 15 miles away, my first thought was what are Tata up to now, as the steel works are at the side of my close.

                      Indeed! But, if I recall correctly, it was the 2007 one which caused the most damage.
                      :think2: Now :scratch: was it 2015 when Ziggy visited? :Think: :heehee:
