lol. What was it? my bet is somewhere between a 4.0 and a 5.0. We get them quite a bit here in California. At least it wasn't like the Northridge quake of 1994 or the San Fransisco quake of 1906 I think. Those were bad. Anyway, now you get to say "I've gone through an earthquake"

It's nothing new. They happen fairly frequently, but they're generally small ones.

Wow! Sorry to hear about it england, I lost a house in an earthquake. After northridge a gas station near my house exploded, I thought the sun was rising until the plume of smoke. I rmember this one cop died crossing an over-pass late at night that was no longer there. Or the building that started to collapse but was actually kept intact because it fell in this perfect way on someone's cadillac. Least you're not sleeping in you neighbors truck, mate!

LOL I can sympathize with that sentiment. I mean, you were there, after all.

I'm sure I would have slept through them as well. I sleep like a rock.
