Read about that this morning, having family who live in Kobe we always keep an eye on any earthquakes, just in case.

Hope your okay.

Fine thanks, just a little tired having spent an hour or so tidying up last night Then not getting back to sleep for some time.:(
Amazingly only had one wine glass broken but stuff was all over the place.

No, it was this one

Magnitude 6.8 - EASTERN HONSHU, JAPAN

We get lots though :)
But this one scared the bejesus out of me.:mad:
About one hundred injuries reported locally. No fatalities.
Japanese colleague of mine ripped off a toenail while running down the stairs in panic :lol1:

Quakes are great. Scary times when I lived in Wellington, NZ.

Great :eek: I'd be petrified.

Well, I was too. But, when you understand the geology there, you learn to accept the "potential" danger. Like those who live in Naples, well, actually not. Most do not understand what would happen if "Pompei" was revisited.

But to be woken by a quake, and you knowing what it was, and not knowing how big it could be, is quite refreshing.
