More earthquakes this week.
On Monday we had a 5.5 and then 80 minutes later a 6.3 - I do not mind saying that I was scared shitless this time.
At last count we have had 6851 earthquakes since last September. I was in the office with my staff when the 6.3 hit on the 22nd of Feb and it was very scary BUT this 6.3 a couple of days ago was just crazy.
I was in the car with my wife on our way home, stopped at traffic lights when it hit and it's very difficult to describe but I gripped the steering wheel and just about put my foot through the floor stepping on the brake pedal so hard. It was like 20 big blokes were on either side of the car rocking it back and forth, I kid you not.
We watched as scaffolding fell to the ground from a shopping mall that was being repaired from the last quake in Feb. The cars around us were all over the place too - we even thought that the street lamp post was going to fall over - this may sound unbelievable but the lamp post moved like it was made of fibreglass swaying left to right – we thought the tip of it would hit the top of a vehicle, that’s how much it was moving. CRAZY !
We were strong and resolute after the February one but not anymore. I have had one quake too many now.
What to do now?
