Aparently weve just had an earthquake!! North Yorkshire was supposed to be affected - my mate up the road felt it but i didnt!! - lack of sleep is definately affecting me!!

 

The UK has been hit by an earth tremor.

It affected parts of the West Midlands, Wales, North Yorkshire, London, and Wiltshire.

 

The tremor was felt at approximately 0100 BST.

 

There were no reports of any injuries.

 

BBC weather forecaster Pete Gibbs said: "It's not that unusual to have an earth tremor, but it is unusual to be that widespread and that widely reported.

 

"However, earth tremors are certainly not that uncommon in the UK."

 

The whole length of Wales was shaken and people over 120 miles apart felt two sudden shockwaves

 

In south Wales, people in Cardiff, Newport, Caerphilly, the Vale of Glamorgan and as far west as Swansea, felt the powerful shock waves.

 

Callers to the BBC reported doors slamming and windows rattling.

 

Many miles further north, in Wrexham, officers from North Wales Police said their control room in a tower block shook violently.
