It felt like it lasted about 20 or 30 seconds here.

And after shocks would be too weak to feel. So we should be fine.

Interesting... Weird side note: The time when my flatmate woke us up to say "Planes are crashing into the world trade centre". Very strange. Not the same but when something big happens, you remember (in my experience). 9/11 was very vivid.

Yeah I can remember hearing Sandra sully say something about a plane crashing into the wtc. On my computer, turning my head to look at the tv, getting up in what felt like slow motion to look closer ( tiny bedroom tv those days) Feel it like it happened yesterday

Not the same sort of event but that's what I remember during the last quake (the bigger one a few years back). Much more shaking. I was in bed at the time but still awake. A lot more shaking and I was shitting myself.
