Hi there UK people, did anyone feel the tremor last night at 21:03? Here in West Yorkshire it was just a little "tremble" as though someone had jumped on the floor near me. :o

What i cannot understand, is they have said the tremor was in the North Sea, but a friend of mine (paramedic) was on overnight in North Wales, and said he felt it shake the ambulance a bit, this was around the same time

The epicentre was close to Ripon: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/research/highlight ... ml?src=sfb

Unlikely to have been felt in North Wales; the BGS say probably up to about 100 km away, so not beyond Manchester.

Must have been something separate then and unreported, he wasn't the only one to have felt it, mind you north Wales has had it's fair share over the years
