    Well, his mum and dad ok...just a bit shaken. Said things rattling on shelves and felt like it went on for about a minute.

    Thanks for the report smiddy...his mum and dad were very pleased to hear from him so quickly.

    My sister in-law lives a few k`s from us in a house situated on the ground,and she said it was just like a rumble to her ,whereas our house is on concrete stilts 3/4 ft and maybe thats why it was more of a ride. for us . LOL
