Survived my first earthquake. Odd experience, but I was quite some way from the epicentre so it really wasn't a big deal. I get more shakes when I don't have my coffee in the morning.

I just had a horrible vision of Steve Evans falling over after a match in the Midlands and starting off a tsunami of Balti pies. yuk what a sight that would be.

Nope - next weekend. I actually got lucky - only power cut was for about 20 minutes. of the 1.2million people my power company service, i was one of the 100,000 or so who got lucky. Internet broke last night though, which is weird - the storm had gone by then.

i was in orlando past 2 and a bit weeks, and first thing we were told on arrival at hotel was "hurricane is on the way". fortunately it stayed away from us, but saw on the news it got nasty further up. hope all is ok for you now mate.
