earth tremor/quake

I kind of missed it! Was sitting having lunch with the dogs at my feet and it just sounded like a massive truck going past and the windows rattled a little. But where mum and dad are, mum said she felt like the building was sinking and she was terrified...and she felt two. My OH works up the road from them and didn't feel it    

Reports on the news of people literally watching their office roofs crack

Oh Lisa, how frightening for you parents. Hope no-one was hurt too much

My poor mum's really freaked out. There are reports of buildings collapsing at the epicenter of what they are now calling a quake. How scary.

Oh dear  

Take care down there, love and hugs to you and your family    

Aw thanks Bren   

i can remember when i was around a friend we had one it think it was only a 4 or something but we all felt

We used to have a few little ones when I was a kid, but not had for ages

yaw xxx

It's terrible, but I have to agree with this Tweet:

Gotta love South Africans. In case of #earthquake:
1. tweet about it
2. retweet your friends
3. update your status
4. consider where to run

how bigwas ti lisa do you know yet?

They're saying 5.3 Steve. Reports coming in now of miners being trapped underground and so far 1 casualty accounted for.

That's a big one

They're now reporting it was a 5.5

I've only experienced an Earthquake once and it's a very strange feeling.

I was on honeymoon (with the OH) on the island of Zante sat in a restaurant when all the staff suddenly dropped everything and legged it outside... thanks for getting us out   

Was laying on the beach the next day and you could feel the tremours run beneath you... most spooky ! later we were on a coach trip round the island and stopped off at an old church, the rep showed us in and left us to wander around, she was outside and I asked her why she didn't come in to escape the relentless sun. She pointed at the wall of the church with the biggest crack ever and went onto say... that wasn't there yesterday   

The funniest thing though, we were walking back to our hotel in the evening (hand in hand as you do when first married) and there was this huge metal sign on the side of the road held up by scaffold poles, it rattled like mad as we passed and i said all innocently "Blimey misses, are you that drunk that you walked into that sign" she was not impressed   

So I can hand on heart, say, that the Earth moved for my OH on our honemoon   

But by

Ian - a honeymoon that rocked your worlds
