Earthquake

Thursday 27th we had our biggest shake yet. Originally reported as 5.3 now only 4.3, light, acording to the official description, none the less exciting enough. It seemed to go on for a long time ??5 - 6 seconds, this strange feeling of being able to do nothing at all to change things, quite relaxing in a way. No damage and since I sealed the ceilings no bat droppings coming down round the edges of the rooms. The position of the quake seems to be identical with the 7.2 of 1994 so obviously an active spot. Since each number means ten time the energy a 7.2 would be virtually 1000 stronger something I am quite happy to leave unexperienced. The next big one is not due until about 2024.
At this time of year the mountains are clear and so beautiful with the changing light, cloud and shadow, I suppose they might now be a cm or so higher than they were early in the week. Quite intriguing, the feeling that the World is so pliable.
