Ah! But one of the first earthquakes I recall ever feeling was a 3.x wobble on Stoke-on-Trent when there was a burst of mine subsidences around the UK in 1980 - this after I had been living in NZ for 2 years (they must have been quiet ones given the number of earthquakes I've experienced since).

Here in Wellington, anything under Richter 6 generally only evinces a guessing game as to what magnitude and how far away and deep it was, followed by frequent refreshing of the Geonet recent earthquake page. Geonet even provide a twitter feed for earthquakes over MMC 4 which one of my sons, now resident in London.uk, follows.
