Earthquake In Kent!!

From the BBC News website:

"An earthquake has shaken parts of Kent, damaging buildings and disrupting electricity supplies.

Homes in five streets in Folkestone had to be evacuated because of structural damage including cracked walls and fallen chimneys.

The tremor measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale struck at 0819 BST and experts said its epicentre was a few miles off the coast in the English Channel.

One woman was taken to hospital with a neck injury."

I had departed for Chessington at 7.35am so was on a train moving directly toward the area supposedly worse effected and yet, I didn't notice a thing! I guess it's difficult to differentiate a seismic shake from a seemingly unstable set of carriages traveling near top speed, that, and my sense of balance would've been distorted by the high-pitched sine waves infiltrating my earlobes (i.e. my music). When I arrived back at the apartment, where our peculiar landing light, which works only during a power cut and never when we actually need it (coming home from a drinking session, trying to find the keyhole? Near impossible), my flatmate informed me that about 35 minutes after I had left, he was sat in the living room watching television when the reality-shifting tremor engaged him a twenty second process of disorientation, existentialism, fear and finally, realisation in the form of a news channel confirming his experience. The other member of this trio managed to sleep through it all and had only awoken about 10 minutes before I arrived home at around 7pm (student life, easy for some). Is this the beginning of the end? Surely, my joke about the end of days can't be coming true (I'm only 25, have five years left and this atheist sure as shit ain't going to die through an "act of god", the irony!).

In other news, I won a shark!
