Need a bigger quake next time!Done 3 million pounds worth of improvements
Mrs Danllan felt the place shake, I just heard what I thought was big thunder and didn't really feel anything.
What did your animals do? Our sheep didn't seem concerned at all, even the ewe-lambs who usually react to the unusual; but the cattle all crowded in a corner, being brave...
I did a geology degree and have been fascinated by earthquakes ever since. But it's the first earthquake I've experienced; having missed them many times, sometimes by mere minutes in East Africa, Japan and Italy.
The epicentre was only about thirty miles East from us, but we are on a different fault system, so the shock was probably attenuated somewhat. People in England seem to have felt it more than here, it was even felt 200 miles away.
Watched the cctv recordings of our Cow Channels. You can hear the buildings rattle and see the picture shake but the cattle took no notice at all.
Diolch, rwy'n meddwl...Nobody is blaming you Dan Llan fy machgen i, whichever fault system you may be on does not mean that you are in any way to blame.
The fact that you have a geology degree has nothing to with it boy.
You see, earthquakes are not caused by geology; they happen because the gods are angry with us. We don’t know why, but in this case it could be because you have not been making enough sacrificial offerings of virgins at the altars of Mamon and Circe in Neath and Swansea.
But be warned all ye heretics, ye pagans and ye disbelievers! The gods are aroused, and they are angry, and I tell you Llanrwst will be next!
Diolch, rwy'n meddwl...
Two teams of volunteers have been dispatched from this area to help out in Hartcliffe . It is believed their main roll will be to refix dislodged Sky TV dishes and replace sofas to their correct positions .EARTHQUAKE IN Hartcliffe South Bristol.
An earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale hit hartcliffe in the early afternoon in the Fulford Rd area. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Fuuuckinell".
The tremor decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa del Sol were damaged beyond repair.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived. The Hartcliffe Mercury reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still coming to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Hartcliffe.
One resident - Tracy grey, a 20 year-old mother of 5 said, "it was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes come running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Jeremy Kyle the next morning".
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal. The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of White Lightning to the stricken locals.
Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
