Residents of Ballycastle Report Feeling Earthquake Tremors

You may have thought the rumbles you felt last night were from the crowd cheering on Northern Ireland as they took on Italy in the World Cup qualifier at Windsor Park... however it wasn't the crowd jumping for joy at denying Italy an automatic World Cup qualification, it was in fact an earthquake!

More than 30 people reported to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that they had felt the tremor, with reports coming from as far as Edinburgh and Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.

The quake had a reported magnitude of 3.1.
