Earthquake

It was a few minutes to one in the morning or there about just as I went to bed, I felt a little sway. I was wondering what is going on? But then I noticed it did not stop. I thought my gosh am I dreaming or what, is this really an earthquake? Worse I am on the 11th floor!!! For the few moments I wondered if they will ever find my body should the building collapse!! But thank God it stopped!

I checked the morning papers and discovered that I really wasnt dreaming! The tremor, measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale, lasted up to 15 seconds. It shook Britain from coast to coast just before 1am, displacing chimney pots and roof tiles from Newcastle to Brighton.

Memories of your YARD! did you know that the Uk has not had an earthquake since the 1980's? I am sure that a lot of people will be in church this sunday!
