Shake, Rattle & Roll!

Well, I think most of the East Midlands awoke with a shock this morning at 1am - I know I certainly did. If you missed the actual quake then you will ono doubt have heard about it on the news this morning!

General reactions here at the Gemini office were fear and confusion - I know I for one, opened the curtains to see if a car had driven into the house...or if a plane had crashed down at the end of the road! Luckily an early morning phone call from one of my good friends reassured me that I hadn't been having very realistic dreams, it had in fact been an earthquake!

The description on the BBC news this morning was that "it was a very British earthquake", none of my neighbours appeared to turn the lights on or leave the house to investigate.
Maybe not so much being British as being 21 Century - pick up the mobile phone, call your mates & turn on the computer to read up about it on the internet...I know I was certainly reassured to read that there were others who felt the same.
