Just Had An Earthquake!

[Rob]

sitting here and everything started to shake, thought it was a tram but then the whole building moved - felt really wierd!

just found out it was a Level 4.0! and that there is quite a large fault line that ends right at the edge of the city!

I hope the buildings were designed with earthquakes in mind.

what about avalanches??

[Rob]

no idea Colin, I doubt this one is as it is very old

found a map of earthquakes, surprised me at the amount of them

plenty of those in the mountains mate, thats why if i go off piste i always wear a barryvox (a search and rescue device) and if we plan to go far then i rent an ABS backpack, if there is an avalanche u putt he cord and 2 airbags pop out the side and float u to the top of the snow - thats the theory anyway!

If you find the 'epicentre' and it's a Ginger cat! then i am sorry....

On a real note 'scary' feeling, you say 'just found out' about the fault line... 'wonder' how come
