Not one earthquake but 3 in the UK today
At 2:30pm UK time The UK had a 4.4 magnitude earthquake 20 miles North of Swansea, then I guess what they call after shocked happened one at 3:09pm and a 1.2 magnitude followed by a 1.5 magnitude at 4.27pm.
Yes here in the UK we do have earthquakes but normally they are small and I guess you wouldn’t always notice them. It’s only like the one at 2:30 this after and a 4.4 magnitude. So far in the UK, there were 17 earthquakes which I find amazing.
Here is a link to the site I’ve got my info from.

oh wow we have felt some after shocks due to earthquakes but nothing major like that. Hope everyone was safe and no fatalities during it.

Most people are surprised to hear we have earthquakes here in the UK and yes 17 so far in the UK this year. So far today there have been 58 earthquakes around the world and it is only just after 09:00 Most are mere tremors around magnitude 2. I get a text when there are earthquakes over Mag 6. It is fascinating to follow.
