If you are near the ocean, check if waters retreated. ASAP.

Friends on Facebook are saying that they have felt it as far away as South Wales in the valleys. Can't get on any UK seismic sites, they are either down or too much traffic!!!

My sister just texted me about an Earthquake but I was driving when it happened , thanks for confirming it we're in the West Midlands... I thought she was kidding.

I just saw this posted on a volcano youtube livestream... no idea where the quote is from, but putting it here just in case
"Magnitude5.0RegionWALES-ENGLAND REGION, U.K.Date time2018-02-17 14:31:06.3 UTCLocation51.73 N ; 3.85 WDepth10 km"

How do I edit the title to add Mag 5 please?

Now I'm concerned. When the UK has quakes it's time to take notice. Stay safe.

earthquake.usgs.gov...


USGS showing it at 4.2

Epicenter

Map showing epicentre just outside Swansea...so that would be heading up into the valleys and depth of 10Kms

Earthquake or secret Welsh Nuclear test ... hard to know.

a reply to: gortex

Lot of old mines in that area....so anybody's guess as to what caused it
