Earthquake

Didn't know where else to put this; just saw there's been an earthquake there. Hoping you're all all good.

Yeah, wasn't too bad.

Yeah, wasn't too bad.

Excellent. As you were.

Must have been a ripper if it was able to wake and get my 18 year old to rise at a reasonable hour. Imagine being around in the times when the great diving range was created by earthquakes, plate shifting and volcanoes!

I was shook.

I experienced an earthquake in Japan a few years back. I was in a shower in a high floor of tall hotel and it really shook. We were evacuated. We were told not to worry, Japan knows earthquakes and builds to withstand them. Well. It felt huge, some people died and a few buildings collapsed. All trains cancelled in Osaka and Kyoto due to track damage. Japanese people told us this was a big one.
Anyway this one today was almost exactly the same size as that (although deeper).
Our buildings, even the old ones which are not designed to withstand quakes, stood up really well. No one died (yet..or that we know of) and just a few buildings broke a bit - no massive collapses. It’s probably just luck but we did well. Good on us!
