Hope everyone is okay. Must have been scary being woken up by your houses shaking. We missed it down here. I know we get earthquakes in this country but they are few and far between.

It is scary as it isn't anything you can control.

That is the scary thing about it. I have been fortunate not to have felt any tremors where I am although England has always had them.
It was a bg quake this time for us.

Many, many (and even more than that) years ago I was in an Earth Quake... and a very powerful one at that. I was a teenager at the time, and asleep in bed... in which I thought I was dreaming (the bed was shaking) and my mother came and pulled me out of bed and made me stand outside in my pyjamas; very fetching for a teenager who wanted to sink into obscurity. I don’t think I was frightened, more bemused by the whole episode... but at least it gave me a chance many years later to drag that little ditty out of the bottom reaches of my mind to impress all and sundry.

A proper big earthquake then. Oh, yes... not like the little piddling ones we get when we are half-awake, half asleep in this country and say "oh, Earth quake!, must evacuated to another planet" or words to that affect.

I hope we never have an earthquake that other parts of the world experience.

I hope we never have an earthquake that other parts of the world experience. I think we will... eventually, but not in our lifetime.... the world is changing climatically, and dramatically.

Its inevitable that one day we will get the biggy. Its not crazy to want to have felt the earthquake Sophie. As much as we dont want one those who have never experienced one would natrually want to know what its like. We are a curious species.

We are a curious species. We are curious species and that is what makes us. It is only through knowledge and understanding that we can go forward and make things better.
