'My heart was going really fast'
Ann Lewis’ daughter Sophie, 26, said: “I was just sat there and all of a sudden the whole house shook.
“The funny thing is the cat left the house so we are wondering if it knew.
“As soon as it left the place shook. The lady next door said the water started shaking in the bath.
“I’ve anxiety and this did not help. My heart was going really fast.
“I hope it does not happen again, we live on top of a big mountain.
“I’m glad the house is still here and I was not asleep when it happened.”

'I'm a bit shook up'
Ann Lewis, from Aberdare, said: “I’m just a bit shook up, it was very strange.
“I was sat on the sofa watching Come Dine With Me and it just shook.
“It didn’t interrupt the signal.
“I’ve got quite a lot of glass furniture that was not cheap, so I hope it does not happen again.”
Ann, 52, added: “My daughter was in bed unwell and I ran out the front, I thought perhaps someone had hit something in a car.
“All the neighbours shot out of their homes and were saying, ‘What the heck was that?’
“Apparently the guy up the road was in the bath and the whole bath shook.
“I’ve been here 16 years and and this a big solid house and I’ve never felt anything like this before.
“It’s my first earthquake and I’m hoping there are no more.” | | | |

In Cheltenham, Paul Samway said it felt like "a washing machine breaking down".
"We heard the walls crack and there was a bit of juddering," he added.
"We thought nothing of it until we saw reports from other people on social media."
And then we rang the BBC to give them this quote
Hope the fcuking washing machine is OK | | | |

I'm in two minds on whether to phone the police, I know some people do the same when they see a UFO, I suspect the police are rather choice limited of what action to take in these type of circumstances? |  |

There's a house full here watching the football and none of us felt a thing. Yet the neighbours in the attached house next door were apparently screaming in terror. Bizarre. |  | | |
