Earthquake...

Anyone else feel the 'quake... about 5.15?

House shook a bit...

..

Yes I did. My first tremor since moving over.

yep, house by the salt lake, felt like a massive lorry thundering past.

Yup I thought it was a big truck out back.

Yep

I remember years ago when we had one, our son and daughter in law were over visiting. It was as if a train was going all the way along the street, our son crapped himself, The next day we went to a ceramic shop that had all plates hanging on the wall and a lorry went up along the side outside, it was a loud lorry and the plates all rattled on the wall, our son went white, think he thought he was going to get buried in rubble, thinking it was another earthquake, daft sod.

Felted it alright. First time in this area and wondering how frequent are tremors here .

We often get them here.

Every 21 March a tribute is made to the memory of the earthquake isolating Guardamar, Torrevieja and Almoradi and causing a total of dead 386 victims.

The earth trembled on Saturday, 21 March 1829 at 6.15 pm, on a 6.6 Richter scale magnitude.

Houses with several floors, with no foundations, which were supported by weak wood beams and located in narrow streets, fell over with their inhabitants inside.

In Torrevieja all houses were knocked down, Guardamar had to be redesigned and Almoradi was the most affected town.

A total of 2,965 houses were destroyed and another 2,396 houses were affected by this earthquake.

There was a total of 386 dead victims and 375 injured.

Yes felt the earthquake the house shook.
