Post by: Dangermouse on January 20, 2011, 06:10:37 am

 :o ok apparently there was an earthquake, near anjing ( spelt wrong )  anyway it was felt here?
did you feel it? ??? ???
I didn't!  first i knew about it was everyone else standing outside, after about 10 mins.  :D
A 4.8 was recorded at a depth of 10.6 km.  But the warning signs are that a bigger one may be expected within 24 hours. :o
Hope not, but its just a waiting game now i guess.   ::)

I was still in bed when i felt it.
Followed by a few phone calls from others asking if i felt it.

Rumours
There is an expectation for Hefei to get a sizable quake within 2 years or so.
Not expecting much damage though. Buildings such as schools are being tended to in preparation.

This and free food are pretty much the only things that can truly entice me to leave my apartment.   ;D
