Did anyone else feel an earth tremor tonight? It was around 10.15pm,

Just lazing on the sofa when I experienced a really strange shaking sensation that lasted about 5-10 seconds. Now, i've only had the one vodka so i'm sure that had nothing to do with it!

How odd!

you are right...... there was an earth tremor in southern Greece of 5.7mb magnitude - we are on the same lines as Greece and whenever they get one..... unfortunately we usually feel it here in Malta too...:-(
