Earthquake!

Whahey! · 18-03-2014 10:19pm #1

I think the southeast coast may have just felt a mini earthquake!

Cant find anything to support this on earthquake tafoni.net or any other recent earthquakes sites. But people defo felt the earth move and head rumbles here.
Anyone else feel anything?

The rumble I heard and felt was well after 9. Probably around 9:15.

Very weird, I'm in Sligo, but earlier on this evening there was a loud rumbling and the house seemed to shake. I checked outside, I live in the middle of nowhere, but no neighbouring farmers were nearby with tractors. I was in Dublin in the 1980s when there was an earthquake, and I honestly wondered if that was what had happened earlier on. It was earlier than 20:46 though.

Felt absolutely nothing in Kilkenny.

vicwatson · 18-03-2014 11:36pm

vicwatson · 18-03-2014 11:39pm

not too worried about about a few 1's and 2's - if we were having a succession of 4's and 5's, that would be a bit more worrisome.

We get an earthquake once every week in Castlebar, we call it Roadstone.

Guy on the radio the other day said there are no more happening than ever happened. Just with Social Media, more people hear about them and talk about them.

Earthquake!
