    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.

    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.

    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.
