I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm frightened just hearing about it. Be well.

It was very deep so it was a fright but the depth prevented any major damage. It was certainly a community experience for sure.

How terrifying that must be for you! Fingers crossed there aren't any more.

We do get used to them over here, but a good shake is a good shake regardless. :-)

Yikes! Glad all is well! :0

Yep, a good fright was generally all it was, but it was very widely felt. A guaranteed conversation topic....

I saw the video of parliament - one guy continued to speechify through the fremors, then the Speaker said she thought it would be a good civil defense move to close the session.

Yeah, I saw that. It wasn't so big in some senses, but very persistent which is always a worry.

Glad it was of no dire consequences for you but this still sounds scary to me!

They are always scary, even when they're little because you're thinking 'what if it gets bigger?'
