Earthquake Bangor, Menai Straits

[savageseadog]

My son's on board in the straits and there was a rumble and ripples in the water about 15:00, confirmed shortly after by a call from Beaumaris.
Wait for that tsunami.

Doh!..........fooled me by putting Manchester!!!

Interesting site though....remember the Warwick one in 2000 vividly, as I lived there at the time!

 

[Neddie_Seagoon]

Hmmm. I see the last three recorded are Manchester. Are the Mancunians planning to secede from the UK and join the IoM ?

 

[Beadle]

Just to be a little pedantic but 1500 is in the afternoon.

[/ QUOTE ] Near Pentraeth on Anglesey, about 4 Nm from Bangor, I heard a boom and a rumble, but there was no noticeable earth tremor. Wondered whether someone was blasting, but could have been a sonic boom.

Sitting in my office yesterday in Bangor around 15.00 I heard a loud boom ~ apparently caused by two Eurofighters going supersonic over the Irish Sea ; but no tremors felt !

"could have been a sonic boom."

Sonic booms are normally a double bang!! er so to speak?

It was only just audible. It might have rattled windows in Amlwch, 8 nm North, but where I was, sweeping up sawdust in the barn with only the chatter of swallows to disturbing the perfect stillness, it was little more than a faint thud followed by a few even fainter thuds. Interesting that it could produce ripples on the water in the Menai Strait.
