Well along with 99% of the population I was woken up by "THE EARTHQUAKE" last night. DH sat up in bed yelling "what is it", I knew straight away (somehow) that it was an earthquake. I live VERY close to the epicentre and the roaring noise was horrendous, and the banging from the doors, bookcases, etc was also very loud. I couldn't get back to sleep and spent most of the night on the internet. Good to see that the forum geeks were reporting back quicker than BBC News!
Then I had to go to work this morning - everyone was talking about the earthquake. I was looking after a womman in labour who had an epidural in. The radio was one talking about the earthquake and I was listening to that and half listening to my menot going on about how "in America they don't see it as a big deal". "No", I agreed, "its more normal over there". Then realised she was talking about epidurals not earthquakes!
