Earthquake!

Okay, it's like 1 am, 18th Sep 2010, Delhi India. Lying in my bed pleasantly buzzed, watching Harold and Kumar when I feel this rocking. So either I'm more buzzed than I thought or there was just an earthquake. Nothing on the news as yet... lets see.

Mind you, I'm not discounting that the few whiskey sours I had we more potent than expected!

Update - Seems there WAS an EQ... the blogosphere and twitter bear me out. Newschannels still to pick it up. Apparently the glenfidditch wasn't as strong as I thought!

EARTHQUAKE!!

An earthquake has just been experienced in Norwich at around 1.00 am on the 27th of February 2008. No information online yet about the magnitude or epicenter.

This reporter got the shock of his life, and ran and stood in the doorway. Hope there's not much damage!

There was absolutely no mention of it on the net, and I thought I was going mad, till I found another friend online who thought he was going mad too, and that he only had felt it! This brings back memories of the quake in Noida, where my entire apartment building started swaying (I lived on the eighth floor).

2.08 am Update

BBC has finally got the story - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7266136.stm (an hour after this blog :) )

Apparently, the earthquake was a 4.7. Wonder how much damage this has caused, and how this will affect the Insurance companies (after the beating the took during this summer's floods) ? Look at the damage an earlier 4.3 earthquake caused - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6605095.stm
