Pretty sure there was just a minor earthquake tremor in Cheltenham.

We felt it too!
We felt it too!
@philbowell Looks like it, a magnitude 4.4 event with epicentre approx 20km NNE of Swansea.
@colinwalker yeh, Cheltenham’s a good couple hours drive away from Swansea. Really weird sensation though.
@philbowell @colinwalker — but actual distance about 80 miles … as a comp Loma Prieta — where it was felt in Oakland and the North Bay … Santa Cruz to Oakland around 70 miles.
The weird thing to me is that there was an earthquake at all! Hope all is ok.
@JohnPhilpin yeh it’s pretty rare in this part of the world, apparently we get one of that strength every few years. First time I’ve ever felt one like that.
@philbowell Wow : Felt across south wales and as far as Cornwall, Liverpool, Shrewsbury and Somerset.
@JohnPhilpin yeh, it seems to have been felt very widely when compared to past earthquakes.
