Experts have explained why an earthquake that shook South Wales shortly before midnight this morning (Saturday, February 25) felt much stronger than it actually was.
Initial estimates suggest the quake, thought to have had its epicentre near Merthyr Tydfil, measured a magnitude of between 3.8 and 4.2. This should have been felt as "light shaking" in areas close to the epicentre.
But some people say they were pulled from side to side or were moved across rooms in the chairs they were sitting in. Welsh resident @betharthur27 said on Twitter that their "house shook" and they felt like they were "being pulled from side to side".
