Just felt the whole floor shaking and my chair sliding. My office building has been evacuated. What's happening??

Yep, us too. whole building was a-wobbling.

I hope this is not Stephen Hawkings getting his sums wrong.

They had one in Kuwait last week it was explained as a man made phenomenon as follows.

In the wells in order to replace the volume of lost oil then water is pumped in but it is at a lower temperature and this caused a subterranian rock fall in the well which appeared like an earthquake!!

OK?

Scary though - I'm glad I'm not in a high rise in DXB!

Safe landings.

Only 6.1, back to work the lot of you!

Inselaffen

lazy is the word. couldn't be arsed going down 6 flights of stairs

Charismatic

Is it concidered an advantage to be under all the buildings as they fall?

Better check that the very tall one is still standing!

Inselaffen

just checked. its still there. probably a few blokes fell off the top though.
must sway quite a bit up at that height

Let's hope no one irreplaceable was hurt.
