Ailz Slept Through It

[poliphilo]

A sort of rustling, shuffling, falling down noise. Like a house of cards collapsing. It wasn't repeated so I decided it was probably something the rabbits had done and I could check it out in the morning. 

I went back to sleep.

And now I know it must have been the earthquake. Biggest in a quarter century. 5.2 on the Richter scale.

We get them occasionally here in Massachusetts, too. Usually a feeling of unease and a sound like a distant explosion. Once back in the early sixties my little daughter and I had gone to a neighboring town for the day, returned home and found the kitchen cabinets doors wide open and some dishes and glasses on the floor. We were later told by our landlord that there had been an earthquake. It was not felt in the neighboring town at all.

This quake seems to have been felt all through the country. The epicentre was in Lincolnshire- just across the hills from here.
