Quake

Certainly not a nice way to be woken up - a very strange sensation. All part of the experience though!

  1. It was a slow rumble growing to a bit of a crescendo with the whole house shaking and rattling. Very weird. I imagine that if your house was lifted up by a giant forklift truck and dropped from an inch off the floor it might be similar to the main part of it.

    I couldn't get back to sleep so I also caught the after shock that was 4.3 about an hour and a half later. More of these to follow apparently.

    Makes you feel very strange - I'm not scared by it but it does make you feel uncomfortable.
