Irish Earthquake???

Calibos · 29-05-2013 04:27AM #1

Did anyone else feel the earth move at 4:17am??

I'm in Bray and while I can feel very slight vibration when in bed when trains pass 100 yards away, the house rattled and vibrated big time a few minutes ago much more then ever before and theres never trains at this hour anyway.

Holy sh*t! I felt it too in Stillorgan, didn't know what that was!

Something funny happened..

Enough to wake me up, I actually thought someone had bashed the window.

Calibos · 29-05-2013 04:31AM

Confirmed on Twitter!!

Wow the shutters on the window here in rathmines rattled as I nodded off there! Thought it was a draft but no wind... Was kind of eerie but cool!

IvySlayer · 29-05-2013 04:37AM

I thought I felt something, very very faint though, assumed it was a truck or something going by. I do live in West Dublin though.

debabyjesus · 29-05-2013 04:39AM

Whole house shook in rush! For about 3 seconds

Calibos · 29-05-2013 04:43AM

I think Woodies are going to have a rush on pollyfilla tomorrow

IceFjoem · 29-05-2013 04:43AM

No chance of a wave is there?

shedweller · 29-05-2013 04:46AM

Awesome! Something interesting to follow!
I worked with a lad in nz and he joked that he wouldn't get out of bed for anything less than a 6.

Still though, a 5.5 that close is something special!

Shifty11 · 29-05-2013 04:47AM

I just thought it was a massive gust of wind. Only lasted for a second!

Calibos · 29-05-2013 04:49AM

That website has downgraded it to a 4.6 now.

The 10 cm high Tsunami should arrive on our shores from Anglesey in Wales any minute now

HELLO!

But, no chance of tidal wave.

I didn't feel anything, would have been dozing. Feel like I've missed out. Staying in Fairview north dublin.

Something to tell the grandchildra in 40 years time.

Washington Irving · 29-05-2013 05:39AM

I didn't feel anything here in the west. What a rip off.

Cookie_Monster · 29-05-2013 05:45AM

Just need a volcano now to complete the set.

Karl Stein · 29-05-2013 05:47AM

It was probably just a Chinese Lantern.

shruikan2553 · 29-05-2013 06:10AM

Nothing felt in Galway

sovereign121 · 29-05-2013 06:28AM

Sky news reporting it as a 3.8 on llyn peninsula in north wales

Fr_Dougal · 29-05-2013 06:30AM

The Government have issued a statement denying that any earthquake took place in Ireland last night and that we are on the road to a full recovery.

YbFocus · 29-05-2013 06:42AM

Kildare/Laois/Offaly border here and never felt a thing, really feel like I've missed out! P*ssed off actually

29-05-2013 06:46AM

Quakewatch shows two, at 1am a 3.8 on the coast of Wales at 8 km down, and at 4.15 a 4.3 scale at 10km depth out in the Irish Sea 2/3 the way between Wicklow and Morfa Nefyn.

Autonomous Cowherd · 29-05-2013 06:52AM

How unusual is this? Anywhere I could look up past stats? Any connection to fracking? Very interesting.............epicentre supposed to be 90km from Dublin
