Dear Editor!

At 0505 we woke up this morning and heard something like an exlosion. Being an officer in the Swedish Army I thought it was like an underground explosion, not far away.
It lasted, as we thought, for just a few seconds and our house was shaking. Some neighbour dogs barked and a woman was screaming, my wife said to me.

Last time we had such an experience was in Cabo Servera, Torrevieja in 1986 or 87. We lived then on the 6th floor and the whole house was shaking a lot and.

We are Swedes and are not used to it even if we have had a simliar experience in Sweden. We lived just south to the big lake VÄTTERN, in a town called Husquarna. That time it sounded like a sound-bagn from an aeroplane. We heard it was an earthshake right in the middle of the lake.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

We live in Hurchillo near Orihuela. At 5.00am this morning me and my Wife woke up suddenly. We heard a loud explosion and the bed shook for a few seconds. At that moment I knew it was an earthquake. My Wife wasn't too sure if it was an earthquake. However, it has now been confirmed on this website, thanks!

My Husband and I flew in to Murcia for a long weekend break at our house in San Pedro Del Pintar, On Thursday 28 from the UK. Imagine our suprise when we experienced our first quake on Tuesday the 26th , woke up the next day to find an old "Well" exposed under our driveway, then to fly into spain to experience our second quake.

I thought I was dreaming about the first onem when the second happend but the next morning my husband and house quest confirmed i was not.

Bizare week of experiences !!!!!

yes

We were rudely awoken at approx 5am on March 2nd with a sound like a rumbling wave passing underground. This lasted approx 5/6 seconds and frighted the lives out of us. We have never experinced an earthquake before, even the recent one in the UK. The after shock came about half hour later. We are based in Orihuela Costa in the area of Las Filippinas.

My wife and I were awoken at 5.45am this morning, Thursday 22nd may 2008, with the whole house shaking and the roof tiles bouncing. This lasted about 5 seconds and I am sure this was an earth tremor of some kind.There was also a couple of smaller tremors and bangs. We live in La Romana in the province of Alicante.
Did anyone else notice anything of this kind. I have spoken to our neighbours and a couple of them said they felt it just the same.

Malcolm - take a look at our report on the tremor here

Again today at 6.45am there was, what I believe to be, a further earth tremor in La Romana. It was not as bad as the one that took place on the 22nd but still shook the house for a few seconds.
In fact there has been many minor tremors since the one last week. Does anyone have any information about the recent one.

There was a small earthquake this morning at 0.42am 6/aug/08. Wont be very large but enough to rattle the house and the windows.

Im in Villamartin near Torrevieja, just thought id let you know if you wanted to mention it on your site.

Yes we felt the quake lastnite exactly at 00.42am 06/08/08 too. We experienced the last one too. This was worst, the glass unit we have in the lounge, rattled and the glass was making a loud noise!
Apparantely, we are on the fault line, which means we will get regular tremors, some unnoticed! This isn't good news, but at least we can be aware of it!

Me and my friends also felt the tremmer. it was at approx 1 in the morning, we were staying in quesada. One of my friends (katie) cried due to shock, the other (liz) said it couldnt be an earthquake as they dont travel miles! yes thats right, shes a div kid.
