Earthquake!

February 27th, 2008

Holy shit… It sounds absolutely crazy but not more than 30 minutes or so ago we had an earthquake… in Grimsby!? I’m watching the news now and it’s apparently nation wide but so far none of the reports seems to be quite as severe as what I experienced.

The house suddenly started shaking… books came out of my bookcase, clothes fell down in my wardrobe, bricks and slates were falling off roofs. And the noise… it’s the loudest thing I’ve ever heard.

Just down the street a car has been mangled by several pieces of bricks and debri sent tumbling off the roof and apparently there’s been some more severe structural damage in some places.

It’s just crazy…

Update

Here’s a few pictures from outside my house, they’re a bit blurry as it’s still 3am here and my camera isn’t that good but you can make out what’s happening. There’s quite a lot of structural damage down my street and I’m told in some other local areas it’s even worse.
