Last night I woke up, and was disturbed to hear the wardrobe doors banging. I turned the light on, had a look around, and could establish no plausible reason why they'd been doing so, so noticed it was about 1am, and went back to bed.

Reading the news this morning, I see there was an earthquake at that time, which would account for banging wardrobe doors. I didn't feel the tremor at all (contrasting to the one that happened when I was sleeping on a futon at Darwin Drive, which I most definitely felt), which says something about how good our mattress is. Also, I guess I know [livejournal.com profile] atreic is lying next time she said she felt the Earth move for her ;-)

My colleague MorrisMan, who lives about 10 miles east of us, felt it.

I remember the one 25 years ago, and talking about it with my mum the next morning.

It woke me up and I definitely felt it, but only after I heard my cosmetics clattering on the dresser. I think if they hadn't I wouldn't have been disturbed enough to wake up.

It woke me up, things were rattling and the bed was shaking in quick-time. Seemed to go on for a long time!

I must be turning into my mother. She felt the one 25 years ago, but we slept through it (same location). I felt the one in I think 1990, my chair seemed to be levitating - that was weird.

Bonus: the birds that scratch about annoyingly on our gutters are quiet today. Must have scared them!
