This one was pretty noticable, was sitting on the computer when I felt my chair shaking and then noticed a few other things in the room were also shaking.

Hangar roof started shaking so went outside to find out why. All agreed it was a tremor and then watched the teenagers wheel out their training planes from the hangar next door. Had a good laugh and suggested they put them all back. No sweat.

Didn't have to stir my coffee, but only felt a tiny rumble as the missus spent up large at GAP in Mirdiff.
