UK earthquake: Thousands share hilarious reactions to 'reasonably sized' quake felt from Swansea to Liverpool

Millions of people across the UK have shared their reactions to the biggest earthquake to hit in a decade.

The British Geological Survey, which dubbed the tremor "reasonably sized", hit the village of Cwmllynfell at around 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon.

With a magnitude of 4.4 and a depth of 7.4km, the quake is the biggest of its kind to hit the area since 1906.

Llwydcoed resident Antony Temme took to Twitter, sharing a picture of upturned chair with the caption: "We will rebuild."

Meanwhile local clothing firm Liberty Printing & Embroidery mocked up a new t-shirt with the slogan: "I survived the great Swansea earthquake".

David Jones took a political slant with his joke, writing: "Yes quite a shake, assumed it was just part of the Brexit process breaking off from Europe!"

Meanwhile Swansea University evacuated some students over safety fears.

Thousands reported feeling the tremor from Cornwall to Liverpool, with many more sharing stories of the earthquake online.

The Independent scientific body EMSC, which gathers data on quakes, said it received 4,000 reports of tremors from Brits.
