Small earthquake hits north Wales
A tremor measuring 3.8 in magnitude has hit north Wales in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The tremor centred on the Llyn peninsula in Gwynedd.
Porth Colmon was the centre point according to the British Geological Survey (BGS) which is between the seaside towns of Aberdaron and Nefyn.
People living in Southport, Merseyside and Dublin in Ireland have reported feeling movement at 04:16 BST but there are no reports of damage or injury.
Graham Williams from Pentir, near Bangor, told BBC Radio Wales: "I woke up to a cracking sound and realised the house was shaking.
"I could hear a low rumble for about 15 seconds and then it stopped."
The tremor is just a few miles from the point on the Llyn Peninsula where an earthquake struck in July 1984 with a magnitude of 5.4.
That is still the most powerful recorded in mainland Britain in the last 200 years.
