An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 was recorded Wednesday evening in the vicinity of Brest (Finistère). The residents of the city center felt it well, as Anne says, whose building shook, at the microphone of Europe 1.

A slight earthquake of magnitude 3.8 on the Richter scale was recorded Wednesday evening at 10:20 pm by the National Network of Seismic Surveillance (RéNaSS). It touched the tip of Brittany and its epicenter is located 5km from Brest. Many Internet users have testified or had fun on social networks. Anne, who lives in the city center, felt the tremor, and tells it to the microphone of Europe 1.

"It feels like a big merry-go-round, the heart going up in the throat, she testifies Thursday morning. I was in my sofa with my daughter and one of her friends, we thought 'l 'next door building collapsed, is it a plane?' We felt a vibration of the building, so little cold sweats anyway! "

According to the RéNaSs observatory, the epicenter of the earthquake was ten kilometers deep.
