    Apparently you could feel it here in Wrexham

     

    my house is basically built on a sand tip. 5 feet underground and you get nothing but sand. the lack of solid ground probably dampened it out. i was even awake when it was 'happening' although i got absolutely nothing :(

     

    My GF (who lives on the other side of town about 2.5 miles away) felt it, cause her house actually has a decent foundation.

    hmmm do u know soft gound (foundation) actually AMPLIFYS the vibration of the ground..

     

    Case study: During the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake, there was more damage in Mexico City compared to the resort town of Acapulco which was nearer to the epicentre. The reason for this is that Mexico City lies on soft soil which amplified the effects of the tremors.

     

    Quoted from my Geography textbook
