Have experienced many quakes while living in Taiwan and so was confused when my classroom lockers began making a rattling sound. Thinking it was monkeys on the roof i waited until that familiar wave came of intense movement. Had children stand up and step outside away from over head structures and explained what they had experienced. Having a beautiful sea view (and having recently learnt about quakes) we had a few learners on self appointed "tsunami" watch.
