Wibble Wobble

So then, Northern (well its more like Birmingham, but thats the north too :P ) Italy got knobbed by a big earth quake last week. I then come out here for a week for work (playing with Huayras is hard work honest) and get greeted with this, this morning

I had literally just walked into the Pagani factory and was talking with the guys when the ground 'bounced', kinda like when a car goes past in a multi story, and I thought nothing of it. Then a few moments later the ground started to wobble around. We haul ass outside and the movement eventually stopped.

I've never experienced an earthquake/tremor before so that has screwed me up for the day/week (doubt I'll sleep much now).

I understand completely... Suffice to say I'll be glad when the plane takes off on Friday.
We had another shake at lunchtime. There have been 5 quakes/tremors today, two were felt here.

What's the rule then, run outside to see what is likely to fall down or hide under something strong?

I was awake in bed when that happened, my cat sat up and started nervously looking around about a minute before it happened, then it all started shaking, i was like :wtf:

The ones the UK gets are just simple 'bang' done. But every man and his dog say "ohhh I felt it in scotland etc" lol

Had another last night apparently, but I slept through it :D

the rule is, GTFO of a building and stand outside laughing :S

lol the UK has had a bunch of tiny ones bar the low 5.0's. Apparently anything less than a 4.0 is barely noticeable. I'm happy to stay living in the UK :)

the house definitely moved for the one i felt and it woke up my parents so was big enough for me lol

Experienced my first proper earthquake in Japan last year. Knew it was time to get outside when the japanese were heading for the door. To be fair this was 4 months after the major earthquake/tsunami and the building we were in still had the reminders of it!!

Weird feeling indeed. lol my other experience was in the pub! Was that violent but quick, i spilt my beer. Most annoyed!
