The day the earth stood still
So that's another natural "disaster" I've slept through then, to go with the hurricane of 1988. I was awake for the one in 2002 in Birmingham, which happened the night we moved into our new house there. Couldn't work out if it was the house falling down or an earthquake! Still, I don't think I missed much. Nottingham is, of course, still standing.

Extreme Sleeping - watch out Ruth! Racy, exotic indie gamers invite natural disasters.

Must get me one... oh wait... no the most exciting thing that happens when Geoff is asleep is occasionally a cat jumps on my head...

It really was a rubbish earthquake, wasn't it? ;)

Hmm. I think I may have felt that here. According to the article I was awake when the main earthquake hit and it seems to have come as far as South Wales. At around that time I remember hearing a rumble which I initially thought was a street cleaner and then was so heavy that I figured it must be a steam roller or something the size of a tank. It was a lot more than the noise made from the steam roller going past my house the other night, but when I looked out the window I saw nothing just as it stopped. I dismissed it as having just missed something big drive by. Maybe it was the quake?

Yep, slept through this one too. For shame!
