Witness location : Pontardawe (United Kingdom) (1 km E from epicenter)

Time : T0+ 122 min

Very brief. Rumbling noise for a few seconds, then the building jolted. I checked, but didn’t hear the local birds panicking.

Witness location : Pontardawe (United Kingdom) (1 km SE from epicenter)

Time : T0+ 155 min

I chose 'explosion' for the sound, as it was closest, but it was more like a thunder bolt. There was a feeling that the air moved very suddenly and a deep boom sound. I would not really describe as 'explosion' as that is louder, and not so deep. But it was the closest option on your list.
I put yes.. did anybody run outdoors in panic, but people were not panicking.. everyone in the street came out of the their houses, but slowly, and were just shocked and concerned, and wondering if others felt it too, and checking their buildings and gardens for any damage. Eventually everyone went inside again, but there were also storm clouds here, when the earthquake occurred, so some people thought it was a large thunder ball, or something similar, due to the boom before the shaking.

Was scooping some ice cream into a bowl when I heard a long, low-level rumble. 

It was loud enough to make me think about it but we have so many fighter jets flying overhead that I did think tha tperhaps it was just another jet. It was a different rumble to a jet though but, as I say, we get so many jets flying overheard that I didn't give it a second thought.

However, within minutes, friends were texting whether I had just felt the earthquake so clearly many people felt it across Swansea.

If this had happened in London I imagine that the BBC and Sky News would be talking about it endlessly for the next week. But as it happened in West Wales I can see that it is barely registering a mention on the news.

The ice cream was lovely. Strawberry with bits of scones from the Co-Op. I am going to eat some more now to help me get over the trauma of surviving the Great Welsh Quake of 2018.

It was a very strong shake, reminiscent of the kind of shaking we get in Greece which is where I am from originally. I live 15 years in the UK and the "Earthquake feeling" came rushing back. Nobody noticed in the cafe I was. I was sitting on a bench which shook visibly and so did my table. I shifted quickly but it stopped before I could do anything. I looked around to see if anyone else noticed but they were all engaged in other things. The thing is, I may have felt a smaller earthquake-like shake just before the strong one but I cannot be sure. I remember the feeling and checking around to see if anyone else noticed or if it was a bus hitting a pothole just outside the cafe. A few minutes later the big shake came.

It felt like two impacts separated by about 0.25-0.5 seconds. The second was less intense than the first. The vibrations lasted for about 1 second. I initially thought that my wife had dropped something very heavy downstairs. The glass panes on our lizard's terrarium rattled. My 14 month baby was silent for a few seconds afterwards and then became concerned. Our lizard was nonplussed.

I think my dogs sensed it first as they were barking, seemingly at nothing. Then I felt a slight rumbling under me as though someone was trying to shake me awake (even though I wasn't asleep). Nothing appears to have moved in the house though & I did wonder if it was just roadworks or something as I've felt stronger 'vibrations' from pneumatic drills.

Our region is very low laying and the soil is mainly sandy with clay sporadically spread at -1m. deeper there is a peat layer. The water table in the land is often affected by the tide and we are always affected by any large forces placed on the land such as the movement of Heavy Goods vehicles and Earthmoving equipment on the development site adjacent to this address. The movement we felt was similar in every way to the Vehicle movement except that on the day in question there were no such vehicles at the site. It feels as if the crust of the earth heaved like a fluid wave and all surface structures rose and fell with that wave.

For a  short while before the movement I had been hearing similar rumbling noises, albeit muted.

I was surprised by the sudden noise and rumbling feeling but I initally assumed a very large and heavy lorry had gone past on the road at the front or that the neighbours downstairs had their washing machine on and the spin cycle and started, which can rumble quite violently. But on reflection it didn't feel like either of those things really, it was too isolated and heavy for it to be either of those things.

I was sitting, motionless, leaning on my desk when the desk appeared to move gently towards me by about half an inch and then move back, all in under half a second. I instantly recognised it as a minor earthquake, having experienced smaller ones before in Cornwall in south-west England. I believe the upper storey of the house moved this amount, with the desk moving with it, and it was my inertia that produced the movement of the desk relative to me. My wife felt nothing on the ground floor but she was standing and moving about at the time. A few minutes before, I had heard what I thought was hammering on the side of the house for about twenty seconds but after exploring outside, I could find no cause or explanation for this. I then returned to my desk before experiencing the movement described above. I don't know if the 2 events were related.

I was sitting on my bed when the house started shaking. I thought it was a heavy vehicle as the house is affected by HV. The shaking continued and grew in intensity. It lasted for what felt like 2-3 minutes. I experienced an earthquake in Birmingham in 2008 and I felt that I was definitely experiencing an earthquake. I felt worried that it might start again and grow in intensity but thankfully it stopped.

I was sitting at my computer working, and suddenly I felt the house swaying. I looked at the clothes basket by the window, and it was trembling. The curtain was trembling, too, and I could hear a faint, deep rumbling. I thought 'Earth tremor', but I didn't quite believe it, and I wondered in fact if it was I who was trembling and whether I was about to faint. I suppose the swaying/trembling only went on for half a minute or less, but it could have been longe. I thought maybe there was some blasting going on - but not on a Saturday afternoon, and there's been no blasting in this area for many years. I looked out of the window to see whether the birds at the feeders had taken flight, but either they didn't notice or they were too hungry to care, and I couldn't see any movement in the vegetation - but by then it had reduced to a mere tremble of the curtain. Quite disorientating. I've experienced mild tremors in the past, and now, as at each other time, I felt very odd - it was surreal.

My bed I was sitting on at the time started to make a rocking motion and I heard a creaking plastic sound behind me which was the window frames. I saw the window frame area appear to be wobbling! And my large wooden wardrobes were rocking lightly back and forth and making a sound. My computer chair was moving lightly side to side also and creaking. I heard no earthquake sounds, only the sounds of moving furniture and window sills. I was quite frightened that I rushed out of the room in a panic. I know it sounds silly to say this, but it felt like I had a poltergeist in my room like in those horror movies, because it only seemed to be affecting the one end of my bedroom where I was sitting! 
When I hurried downstairs to ask my mom if she felt an earthquake, she didn’t know what I was on about and said she’d not felt anything. 
I felt queasy, like a seasickness, for quite some time afterwards.
