I'm about 20 miles from the EPICENTRE!!!! and thought "this is close enough!" It did feel bigger than the one i noticed last year; there were 2 from the same area apparently.

did the earth move for you?
I've never encountered a earthquake I dont think so no idea what happens at this scale.
Not very much I'm guessing

No not much ... just felt and sounded like a very large lorry was passing slowly by, but being late evening probably amplified it. The one I felt last year was around 7 in the morning, but quietly rattled ornaments, like a very heavy ghost was passing slowly by.

Didn't feel anything here in Northants, we had one similar though about 7 years ago and that woke me up in a panic
