Ciuldn't think where else to put this, sorry.
5.23am this morning, earthquake.
Woke me up and was so strong and so long, i was out of bed and under the door jam in olympic record time.
Did a check all around the house for damage, all ok, took a fierce lamp and went outside and all around the house to check for cracks, when the second one hit.
The ground shook and wobbled so much i thought a hole would open underneath my feet and i was offski.
Not the first quake here, but in all my 33 years here by far the stongest, yet turned out to be only 4.9R.
Checking the news this morning turned out to be right on the beach here, maybe1/2k from the house.
We've never had one anywhere near as close before, and there's no plates or owt like that anywhere near.
Things are changing, just hope my mountain doesn't decide to become a volcano.
No damage to the house, but the second one while i was outside seriously thteatened my underpants.
