FAO Peri.. re Earthquake.

[NoMercy]

Hi Peri. You were asking the other day if I had any more info on the tremor I felt last Tuesday. I found an article on page 3 of the Euro weekly news, and have posted link below. You will see that the epicentre was right here in Xeraco Beach. xx

Thanks for that NoM - my youngest is doing earthquakes in geography at the moment and has been asking me about it. Having read the article though all I could do was laugh sorry - but the guy who was 'pushed' off the couch - good cover for the girlfriend and then the girl who felt nothing. Were you knocked out of bed ?

I was sat at the comp at the time. The whole house shook.

I remember that alright - no comment on whether it was linked to the world disasters on that night

I shouldn't think there was any link. Those tsunamis occured over 12,000 miles from here. According to the article, tremors are not uncommon in this area, but that is the first time I have experienced one.
