    There has been two tremors earlier this morning to the West of Wrexham in the Irish Sea – https://www.wrexham.com/news/38-earthquake-hits-north-wales-wrexham-unaffected-32491.html .

    Speaking to a few people a couple have been mentioned – but I remember being in School in what must have been the late 80’s or early 90’s and feeling a quake. However googling it does not show any ‘big’ ones that were at normal times – so couldnt have been that!

    Can you remember that or any other quakes?

    There was one in the 90’s , I was sitting at the kitchen table and the floor shook and china rattled, it was over in a few seconds before I really knew what was happening.

    I remember the one we had in the mid 80’s. The whole house shook, I thought it was a huge lorry at first or a plane crash.
    A few years ago we were on holiday in Zante and in the early hours quite a big earthquake occurred, I fell out of bed as the entire building shook. Only realised what it was in the morning when everyone was talking about it at breakfast.

    I remember the one in the 80’s. My wardrobe shook! That’s it I’m afraid, I felt nothing last night expect my mattress and pillow :)

    I don’t think we’ve ever had one with an epicentre i the Wrexham area.

    I remember perhaps late 90’s there was some kind of tremor, I woke up in the middle of the night and my bed was shimmying into the centre of the room. Of course I assumed I was dreaming and went back to sleep. I often wondered if it felt worse because our house was pre-fab and if you pushed it too hard it might have fallen over.
