A reboot just bit me too. I had a dozen+ tabs open in two browsers researching something, 2 instances of VS. I was in the other room eating dinner when I hear the BIOS beep from my computer.
Thanks a lot Windows Update KB4074588. That was absolutely not planned or communicated.
The process c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe (MYNAMEHERE) has initiated the restart of computer MYNAMEHERE on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Service pack (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80020010
Shutdown Type: restart

4.2 Magnitude apparently, about 20km NNE from Swansea. A quick check on Google maps, and it was about 5 km from us.
The devastation is horrendous.
(The cat was spooked, and nothing even fell off a shelf.)
Send aid money for rebuilding now! Send it to me, and I'll coordinate it...
Still, explains the series of noises a few days ago: about 4am I was woken by a noise like a Parkinson's patient with a tea cup and saucer. Lasted maybe 30 seconds, then stopped. few minutes later, it's back. Could I find what it was? Nope. Now I know - probably a very small series of foreshocks.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There has been a 4.6 magnitude earthquake near Nantes five days ago. Perhaps it is this one you're talking about.

Nantes and Swansea are a hell of along way away!

I was talking about the one OG felt a few days ago, not the one that took place today.

Why are you asking that?

Griff: Had a quake in Swansea.
You: Perhaps it was the one in Nantes 5 days ago.
Me: Swansea and Nantes are a long way away.
You: I am talking about the one Griff felt a few days ago.
Me: Was he in Nantes then?
You: What are you talking about.
Me, now:

You know earthquakes can be felt several hundreds kilometers away, don't you?

Not a 4.5, and Nantes is a long way from Swansea.

In 2004, there has been an earthquake in Beaume-les-Dames (5.2 magnitude). I was home in Lyon and could feel it since my bookcase became suddenly shaky. Hence my question.
Now, I checked and indeed Swansea in quite far from Nantes. But on a geologic scale, not that far. I thought both these events, happening in a few days' window, could be somehow related.

I live in one of the most seismically active parts of France, yet never felt a quake.

According to the BBC Quote: The quake was felt over all of Wales
- I never felt a thing. Pah - a piddly little earthquake is no match for the Brecons (which lie between me and the epicentre)!
Definitely all @Richard-MacCutchan 's fault[^] though!

Wouldn't that be a tsunami?

When you grow up in California you don't even feel anything under a 5 and it usually does not even get reported.
But I bet for someone who did not grow up with them, even a 4.2 can be a little disturbing.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
