Tremors

Quake

7.20pm
This just in. Naomi thought the cat was under the sofa rock­ing it, caus­ing her to feel a lit­tle dizzy. Then we found the cat on his perch, and so she asked me to sit on the sofa to feel it sway­ing a bit.

“Why ah?”, she asked. Being the pro­fes­sional bull­shit­ter that I am, I said, “I think the seat of the sofa sits on the base in an unsta­ble way.”

I sat on the other sofa, which didn’t “sit on a base in an unsta­ble way”, and said, “No, this one don’t have”, and then, “eh? Got”.

For con­fir­ma­tion, we stared at a glass of water on the cof­fee table, and saw ripples.

Oops, there it comes again!

There are no thun­der­ing sounds, so Juras­sic Park III is ruled out, and I don’t think our neigh­bours have bought their 5:1 Dolby home the­atre sys­tem yet.

Just switched on CNA on the telly, and they say there’s been a quake near Bengkulu, Suma­tra at 7.9M.

USGS says its pre­lim­i­nary mag­ni­tude is 8.0 and a tsunami warn­ing has been issued.
