My First Quake

Awoken last night, I felt a strange but strong sensation. As if the house was shaking vigorously. Half dreaming I wondered if it could be the impact of another explosion nearby. Everyone came out of their rooms, sleepy-eyed, and we learned that it was an earthquake. It was a very strong jolt, two large tremors. The result of a 6.2 quake of which the epicentre was in Afghanistan. What a bump in the night!
