I was in bed but not asleep. Suddenly, the house started to move, shake and wobble. It was like being on a ship in rough seas. Quite frightening as it just happened out of the blue, to me it was almost like something out of a dream. When it stopped I knew it could only be an earthquake. There was no other explanation.0
