    Brooke and Soda, I'm just glad you are both fine. I've been fortunate to never have experienced anything like that (earthquakes don't happen in South Africa, thank God), so I can only imagine how scary it was for the two of you.

    Soda, I was so touched when I read one of your first thoughts: "Who will feed my cat?!" Awwwwww...

    The things we do in the name of 'research' LTL!

    I'm glad you and your co workers came out unscathed.

    MF we don't get earthquakes over here either ....... except once! There was one in 1985 which people in Dublin felt. We were in Cork (250 Km south) on holidays at the time and felt nothing!! It wasn't very strong anyway!

    But never say never!!

    We generally don't have earthquakes in Australia either but there was a severe one in my hometown of Newcastle in 1989. (I wasn't living there but my mother was). People were killed and in my mind the city (which was suffering from the closure of the steelworks anyway) never recovered. When you walk down the lower half of the main street it's like a war zone. The recent floods didn't help it either.

    You don't normally associate earhquakes with Australia. I'm sad to hear that there were casualties in the Newcastle event. It's merciful to hear no one was killed this time.
