Yes - even my wife said she felt the earth move (which she hasn't said for many a long year!) - this was about 4.40am, and lasted for a few minutes.
I, however, felt nothing, as Keo is a great anaesthetic!

4.7 on reicter

Postby twinkle » Sun Oct 15, 2006 3:41 pm

it was a 4.7 which is seen as a light earthquake at 4.40am. have to say there was nothing light about it. after experiencing my first earthquake i have to say i hope it doesn't happen again.you feel so helpless. i just sat in bed and waited til it finished. :shock: then all the dogs in the neighbourhood started barking.

I didn't feel a thing, but that would explain why my cat was freaked out, jumping on me in the early hours of the morning, waking me up!

Must be, I mean cyprus never has earthquakes without a nuclear test somewhere...

Explains why I woke up at 4.40 this morning anyway...
