We felt Our First Adalucian Earthquake

During yesterday morning's exercise, minding my own business, just blogging along as you do, when the study chair I was sitting in unexpectedly shook and banged itself against the wall behind me.

Molly was stretched out on the desk in front of me when she suddenly leaped up at the fairly audible rumble and shuddering then jumped out onto the window ledge for a quick look around, like she knew what it was and could do something about it but just couldn't really be bothered to. Then she just nonchalantly stepped back in and settle down again on her desk-top purring like mad.

J shuffled in a few moments latter rubbing her eyes and wearily said "did the earth move darling?" I sauntered a cheeky little look round over my shoulder and just winked..

And it was...?


Yeah an earthquake -It was felt in various parts of Málaga and Granada provinces on Thursday morning, according to reports coming in today. The tremors were felt around 6:40 a.m. and the epicenter for the quake was found to lie in Ventas de Huelma in the Granada province.The earthquake registered a reading of 3.7 on the Richter Scale according to the National Geographic Institute, whereas the Andalucía Geophysics Institute measured the reading as 4.2. The earthquake is considered to have taken place about 10 kilometers (6 miles) below the surface of the earth and no injuries or damages were reported. The quake was even felt in Vélez Málaga in Axarquía and was the second earthquake in the same week in Andalucía.
