On Saturday, an earthquake with the magnitude of 4.4 hit Wales at 2.30pm. People were left feeling the tremors of the quake, reports Moona popal

The earthquake was the biggest to have struck the UK in 10 years, however you’d never know it. While some felt the tremors and some didn’t.

The event has left not a lot of people that are taking the earthquake seriously, as there was no reports of serious damage or causalities. People showed their humour by posting the aftermath of the earthquake. Social media, such as Twitter, was cluttered with pictures and videos created by users to show the hilarious side of the quake.

A twitter user shared a picture of a downed chair, along with the caption “Cardiff will rebuild”, while another user shared an image of a sheep on its back. Some Twitter users even started making parody videos of the quake.

An interactive map of the earthquake, showing where it struck and the surrounding area is available here.
