We had an EARTHQUAKE!!Last night at 3 o'clock in the morning our time (about 2 yours) my dad, me, and the dogs were woken up by an earthquake!!  Tamino went bonkers barking and shivering, Penny was better as shes been in earthquakes before.It was scary, they measured it in Zurich as being a 5.4 on the richter scale I've been in badish quakes before, from living every summer in Greece for 7 years, but this was one of the worst I've felt EVER. The house shook so hard it made my lava lamp fall over and break  Our house is very squarely built! So when it shook so hard the windows started rattling and dishes and glasses fell over I started getting alarmed (as did my dad  ).Strange though, as we aren't near any faults or edges of any tectonic plates.  I thought (in my sleepridden stupor) that it was coming from the Mediterrian and nearly had a panic attack thinking of my mum and sister who are in Greece now  Almost called them, which would not have gone down well with them. But as it turns out, the epicenter was by Baden-Baden, in Germany, somewhere in the Black Forest Very wierdSo........ from Kate, who is happy to be alive and still posting It made me realise how much I love you guys

Gosh Kate, that must have been really frightening I'm so glad you are all ok. Was there any damage around the area?What part of Switzerland do you live in? Didn't they have a fairly big earthquake in Italy a couple of weeks ago....was that anywhere near you? I have a brother who lives in Northern Italy, almost on the Italian/Swiss border and he has experienced two earthquakes since living there. You take care.....and glad your computer is ok!  xx |
