Afraid of earthquakes?
Mar. 7th, 2007 08:10 pmNot normally scared of earthquakes... hell, I remember that 6.8 one all those years ago... but still, slightly freaky to hear ominous rumbling and then have the house start shaking, and not knowing how bad it's gonna be. Thankfully... not bad.
But speaking of earthquakes... There was that huge earthquake in Hawkes Bay on Feb 3, 1931. Like, every kiwi knows about it, right? Well, my grandmother was in that earthquake. And my mum has been reading through her old diaries, and came across the entries leading up to and just after that disaster.
( For the sake of posterity )
Any and all errors are of my mother's making. :P
