‘Wales will rebuild’: Sarcastic Twitter users share their hilarious reactions to the biggest tremor to hit Britain in a decade which measured 4.4 on the Richter scale (24 Pics)

  • The biggest earthquake to hit the UK in 10 years was felt throughout Wales and south west of England today
  • Reports of tremors also came from the north west, with people claiming buildings shook in Merseyside
  • On February 27, 2008, an earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale hit Market Rasen in Lincolnshire
  • No injuries have been reported and Twitter users quickly mocked the dramatic overreaction on social media 


  • One Twitter user felt the relatively small earthquake taught them that life was 'too short' and went out to celebrate 

    Others barely felt the quake, with one individual missing it entirely


    Another having to check Twitter to confirm she wasn't going crazy and imagining the tremor


    People who feel particularly effected by the earthquake can already buy T-shirts saying: 'I survived the great Swansea earthquake 17/02/2018'


    Students were evacuated from Swansea University's campus in the biggest earthquake to hit the UK in 10 years 


    The seismology graph from the British Geological Survey shows the size of this afternoon's earthquake in south Wales

    Disasters are always a time to come together, even if they prove to be uneventful. This Twitter user claimed he'd spoken to his neighbour in the first time in five years thanks to the quake



    Others played to Welsh stereotypes and shared photos of sheep that have fallen over, describing the scenes as 'carnage'


    This Twitter user claimed that any damage might actually improve the town of Merthyr Tydfil, 23 miles north of Cardiff

    Swansea students were pictured outside on campus as the epicentre of the quake was concentrated eight miles north-east of the city

    South Wales students were forced from the campus buildings of Swansea University after the quake hit near the city


    One individual questioned whether her hangover was to blame for the wobble


    Another said the earth had moved more in the past when they farted


    Many Twitter users jokingly attributed the quake to the rift in Cardiff from the iconic British TV show Doctor Who
