Earthquake...


Well I suppose it was only a matter of time. Magnitude 6.5 just after 5 pm, centred only about 80 km away from here. This was after a couple of decent shakes earlier in the day, and a decent one on Friday which were bad enough. This was easily the biggest earthquake I have been in and while it freaked me out (as earthquakes tend to do; ever since I went on the Universal Studios tour aged 9), physically I am ok. A couple of things fell off the shelf but nothing more than that as far as I know.


Certainly other people have it worse than me. Here's hoping things settle down...
