Oh, wow!

[eclective]

I just experienced my very first earthquake. Don't know much about it because the British Geological Survey site is down (likely due to the fact that England does not have a notion of earthquakes being something that happen to us, ever, and thus the entirety of the population that felt it has probably simultaneously attempted to search for info), but it lasted a handful of seconds, shook the building rather nicely, and wasn't strong enough to knock anything off the shelves. At first I thought it was the storm, since there's been one raging badly outside for quite a while, and didn't take too much notice of it until, a few seconds in, I thought, "wait, this shaking is a little... intense", and was immediately backed up by Nall being all "...wtf?" from the next room.

That was really rather cool. Now I know what one feels like!
