aj_dr Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Did anyone feel the tremor last night??? it was about 10.15, a loud rumble and then the floor and the whole house shook. I have heard it covered a large area, possibly starting West of Cognac.We didn't suffer any damage but has anybody???aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 From todays Charente Libre:Earthquake Richter 4.2, epicentre 18km NE of Cognac.Heck of a bang here in Aigre, thought there was an explosion nearby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham & Brenda Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 We heard and felt it - a bang followed by vibrations which seemed to go on for 4 or 5 seconds. It was at latitude 45.84N, longitude 0.14W, which is just NE of Siecq - about 10 km from us. Not having experienced it before it was quite concerning at the time. Apparantly there was another one about 20minutes later but only 2.8 and we didn't notice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj_dr Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 We are about the same distance from Siecq, which I judge to be 18km NE of Cognac, as your are. We are near Matha and I have spoken to several friends locally who heard it to.aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
