My heart was pounding so hard. Scariest experience. And the noises too of the house moving. Like a nightmare!! Shaking was so strong. Scared to sleep and got uni exam in the morning :( 0

Was not long asleep when it happened. Woken by increasing violent shaking which lasted about 10 seconds. Ended with a violent thud/jolt which was also audible.
