Default (O/T) Earthquake ?

Reports of a tremor in Wales. I'm sure I felt something here in Exeter
about 90mins ago.

Try this in a bit. http://www.quakes.bgs.ac.uk/recbrit.html The last
posting was an half hour prior to Jon's.

I doubt the NEIC site will post anything below 2.5 M.

During the days when Concord flew, it would often go supersonic closer to
Cornwall than it was strictly allowed to do. Sonic booms were a common
occurence. On a few occasions they were very loud, and the whole house would
shake, which did lead to some false earthquake reports.

I suspect each Typhoon in the Irish Sea costs as much as the aftermath of
one in the Pacific!

Just curious, and again O/T (sorry). From the link you gave:
http://www.quakes.bgs.ac.uk/recbrit.html

How do you get a negative magnitude earth tremor/quake?
