It woke me up around 3:30am here in Pissouri as I was dreaming about elephants passing by, and large cats scratching at and climbing the lemon tree outside my bedroom. Got out of bed pretty sure it was an earthquake, put on proper clothes and shoes to head outside and by the time I opened the door it was all over. I still wan't sure I hadn't imagined the whole thing until I read the news this morning.

My neighbour was telling me about the fierce and noisy thunderstorm and earth shake overnight, and was astonished I had slept through the whole thing! I heard or felt nothing, but then I was well into a lovely dream I was back in the Maldives, one of my favourite places, I guess nothing was going to spoil the dream. ;)

Awful tragedy, the BBC are reporting more than 600 perished.

We were sitting looking out at the pool when it started to move like a pool on a ship. I said looks like another earthquake . Now we found out that it was. Terrible for those people involved and effected by these quake's. I get the impression that there will be some more after shocks as well.

The pool is making the same movements again, I just hope that it does NOT mean another Quake.
