🌍 Did you feel it? Parts of Wales were rocked by a 2.7 magnitude earthquake this morning! It hit at 8:33 am, with reports of shaking coming from areas across Powys and even as far as Shropshire and Herefordshire.
Residents of places like Rhayader and Llandrindod Wells shared their experience, with one describing a “boom that shook the house” followed by a rumble lasting 10 seconds. Such an event hasn’t happened here in over three years, making it quite the morning wake-up call!
The quake was shallow, originating just 5km underground, hence why folks in Llanfair Caereinion, Montgomery, Carno, Builth Wells, and beyond could feel those tremors.
This isn’t the first time the area has experienced such activity; back in 2023, a stronger 3.7 magnitude quake struck near Ebbw Vale.
