Without wishing to be flippant - more a tremor than a earthquake ?

Yes...lasted a good 10 to 15 seconds.
Mainly things rattling and bed wobbling.  Not enough to cause any damage.

There was a wobble a couple of nights ago in the early hours of Sunday morning.   Certainly stronger than this one.  I thought at first it was just one of the dogs having a hearty scratch.  Been seismically quiet for a few months now so two in two days makes you wonder if we're going to have  another like we had in 2012 - now that was a bit scary!!!

Nothing listed for Sunday. How odd. Are you sure?

Really felt this one and was quite scared, enough to get out of bed.  The water in the pool was sloshing around.
