The Earth Moved

Well the earth moved for me last nigh. You have a dirty mind, I don't mean in that way! Late last night I was sitting at the computer, trying to write up my observation notes. When I noticed my screen shake and the CDs on the rack by my desk started to fall over. As all day I had been caught in the teeth of a severe gale, winds of seventy miles an hour and gusts of over eighty, I thought I was something to do with the wind.

This morning I discover that it was an Earthquake. Well that was a first for me and because of the wind, I nearly didn't notice.
