Rockin & Rollin in south Wales

[KiwiCol]

I see you chaps had a bit of a rumble up there.  News down under, says it was widely felt by about 10 million people. Says it was a 4.4 magnitude, about 12 miles NE of Swansea and a depth of 4.5 miles. (That's quite shallow, so you'd feel the shaking more intense)

Hope everyone is ok & their homes are secure.

From what the news reports just a tremble no damage, no injuries.

 we had a few back in the late 80's and early 90's up in north wales but not as big as that one, but it was felt up north as well 130 miles away so it was quite strong .

Good to hear Dave & hope everyone is all good over there.

Mrs Notty and I were sat reading, me on the settee her on the chair - they both shook and we had no idea what had happened - a builders lorry was unloading nearby and we thought perhaps it was that, but y did both seats shake. well the earth moved here for the first time in a while Lol
Now we know and Swansea is some 40 miles away

I was out on my bike so only felt the rumble of a twin but her indoors said the whole house shook, she went outside to see if anything had crashed nearby and all our neighbours were out looking at their roofs and houses so it must have been a bit of a shocker.

That must have been the most excitement Swansea has seen in a decade. 

Mother nature telling neighbours they should speak more!

All I heard is that a large earthquake in Swansea, if one were to occur, would likely cause 28 million Pounds worth of improvements.

Actually Swansea is now THE place to live in South Wales - Mrs Notty wouldn't like it as only one Marks and Spencers (5 in Cardiff )

I'm only 50 miles from the epicentre and never felt i

I'm a Newport boy myself. We had an earthquake once when I was a kid, quite a weird feeling. But we don't get very strong ones in Britain compared to our foreign cousins.
