4.2 Magnitude apparently, about 20km NNE from Swansea. A quick check on Google maps, and it was about 5 km from us.
The devastation is horrendous.
(The cat was spooked, and nothing even fell off a shelf.)
Send aid money for rebuilding now! Send it to me, and I'll coordinate it...
Still, explains the series of noises a few days ago: about 4am I was woken by a noise like a Parkinson's patient with a tea cup and saucer. Lasted maybe 30 seconds, then stopped. few minutes later, it's back. Could I find what it was? Nope. Now I know - probably a very small series of foreshocks.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There has been a 4.6 magnitude earthquake near Nantes five days ago. Perhaps it is this one you're talking about.

Nantes and Swansea are a hell of along way away!

I was talking about the one OG felt a few days ago, not the one that took place today.

Was Griff in Nantes a few days ago?

Why are you asking that?

Griff: Had a quake in Swansea.
You: Perhaps it was the one in Nantes 5 days ago.
Me: Swansea and Nantes are a long way away.
You: I am talking about the one Griff felt a few days ago.
Me: Was he in Nantes then?
You: What are you talking about.
Me, now:

You know earthquakes can be felt several hundreds kilometers away, don't you?

Not a 4.5, and Nantes is a long way from Swansea.

In 2004, there has been an earthquake in Beaume-les-Dames (5.2 magnitude). I was home in Lyon and could feel it since my bookcase became suddenly shaky. Hence my question.
Now, I checked and indeed Swansea in quite far from Nantes. But on a geologic scale, not that far. I thought both these events, happening in a few days' window, could be somehow related.

I live in one of the most seismically active parts of France, yet never felt a quake.

This is more due to your natural stability

According to the BBC Quote: The quake was felt over all of Wales
- I never felt a thing. Pah - a piddly little earthquake is no match for the Brecons (which lie between me and the epicentre)!
Definitely all @Richard-MacCutchan 's fault[^] though!

The quake was felt over all of Wales
Wouldn't that be a tsunami?

When you grow up in California you don't even feel anything under a 5 and it usually does not even get reported.
But I bet for someone who did not grow up with them, even a 4.2 can be a little disturbing.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

Seems shady to me. Lots of info what/how they do, very little about who they are apart from a couple of nice short stories about "the founders".
No info on any registered office
so if money gone it's send message through their "contact us" - no other contact points (basically without any who/where info that is no more than a black hole??)
Lot's of licences from the authorities of different countries, including Aus, UK, Singapore - sure very tough, but these authorities:
- do not guarantee your funds,
- will not take recovery action on your behalf if money gone
the most they would do is pull "the license" if too many people complain.
(To get that licence typically all you need to show is due diligence on transaction recording, and keeping a specified percentage of deposits in directly available funds.)
I mean at least when paypal came on the scene they had addresses and offices you could go to (even if not local they had a physical location.)
Could be wrong but not for me, I'd rather pay the extra percent or two to stick with those I know are real companies in real places [with real oversight/corporate and judicial governance].
