First there was the 4.9
Then there was the 6.0I am so sick of these f****n earthquakes! I am not come back from France if I have my way!!!!
I am grateful however that I work in a single story building and its relatively new so it only shudders and vibrates when we get a quake, but this time it was a rolling shake - a bit like being on a boat in a big swell, so bad that for a few minutes after it still felt like the building was still rolling side to side!
However...when I got home I discovered that we did have power - YAY! but we didn't have water - Boohoo! because you know what that means....
*No water to drink (though we still had 20litres of water from last time)
* No shower
* No toilet - digging a hole in the back garden :( not so bad though, just like tramping, but getting cold bottom from the frost! hehe
Good news though, the water came back on about 6pm, so hopefully its still on in the morning so I can have a shower before I go to work. Having no water isn't that bad, though it is a inconvenience.
Glad I didn't drive down this road! Liquefaction is a bit of a hazard!
I am so glad that you are safe and that your utilities are in working order. It really has been a bad year for volcanos and earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteHave you been following the Schlecks in the Tour de Suisse? I think that Andy is downplaying his fitness for the Tour de France. Go Andy and Frank!!!!!
Geonet now tell us the quake was actually a 6.3, hence the damaged caused, very much over them now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the Tour de Suisse, as we don't get it on tv here (though we did get live coverage of the Criterium de Dauphanie) but I have been checking the Leopard Trek website for results - Go andy and Jakob - YAY!!!
