Earthquake report

[fivemack]

I was awake; I felt it; as happened with the last earthquake (the great Dudley quake of 2002), I thought to myself 'ooh, an earthquake', and then no more of it. This is perhaps not a wise habit to adopt if I plan ever to live in California, New Zealand or Japan ...

The day after I arrived in Japan last year there was a 5.something earthquake early in the morning. I woke up as my 5th floor hotel room went wibbly wobbly, thought "Oh, earthquake" and went back to sleep. The typhoon that preceded my departure a few weeks later was much more invigorating.

Nah, that's pretty much my reaction, too. Although I suppose I'm also totally conditioned to act if the earthquake actually continues. :)
