Earthquake!

Well, more like earthquake .

There was an earthquake here the other day. It happened at about 1am, and woke me up, although I didn't realise it was an earthquake, until someone asked me the next day if I had noticed the earthquake. It scored 4.5 on the Richter scale, as opposed to the recent earthquake in Peru, which was an 8. (And remember, kids, that the Richter scale is logarithmic, so 4.5 to 8 isn't twice as high, it's about 3000 times higher. Its epicentre was the Simi Valley, which is a bit of a way from us (and also where the Ronald Reagan presidential library is based. Coincidence? I think not.)

Apparently a plate somewhere fell off a shelf, and was slightly damaged.
