Earthquake


I've just felt an earthquake.
I live on the 9th floor, and everything shake. It was a strong one.
I live in Lisbon, that is famous for having the probable bigger earthquake in recorded history. The 1755 Lisbon earthquake

I went strait to the net to see if I could figured out what happen.
Here's an image that confirms the earthquake.

Yep, I live in the Alentejo and felt this one too.

Didn't feel too strong here, just enough to make the computer screens shake menacingly. Strong enough to make me dash for the nearest doorway though
