Re: Earthquakes
The only earthquake I experienced was in Tokyo in 2003. I was sitting in thr office about 13 floors up. We had a smokers balcony and the door was open. The first I noticed was the pot plant started to sway, so I though it was the breeze coming through the door. Then the tremors starters. It was a 6.1 and about 60 miles offshore in the pacific, but I did not like it one bit. Not one bit.

Re: Earthquakes
Not allowed in our hotel. Hotel next to us some damage.
We're in an Irish pub and the aftershocks are making the chandeliers swing.
And to make things worse, they're playing a Coldplay album.

Re: Earthquakes
Had one when I was laying by the pool in Turkey, it felt like someone was shaking my sunbed for a few seconds.

Re: Earthquakes
Thanks Mate.
Not sure how much Coldplay one person can handle all at once.
Going to try to get back to our room now. The Missus needs to pack and I need another beer.

Re: Earthquakes
Blimey, another one at 3.18am. Making the building sway so it was a mad rush down six flights of stairs.
Not fun after a load of booze last night then under 2 hours kip.
F*ck knows how long we'll be stuck in the street for but at least we're safe.

Re: Earthquakes
Apparently the 3 biggest earthquakes in Mexico happened in 1985, 2017 and 2022.
All on the 19th September!

Re: Earthquakes
Another in New Zealand. Been having lots of little ones recently which has upped concerns.

Re: Earthquakes
Didn't realize you were there Shabu. Must have been a little nerve wracking given the state of a lot of the buildings there. The videos I've seen have been scary. Hope all is well and that it didn't ruin your break.

Re: Earthquakes
Cheers.
The one in the middle of the night was a bit hairy.
We'd moved from one hotel to another nearby and the first one lost many windows. Building seemed fine though.
Last year there we had a hurricane, this year two earthquakes :lol:

Re: Earthquakes
'it's them pesky Russians' behind the protests Ha Ha ha ha Ha warratwat.
Can't find a link but on North West news last night, a Tory MP was asking if the ****ing site in Somerset(Moggs constituency) was going to be included.
