Glad to hear you're ok - I've only once been in an earthquake; the Meckering earthquake of 1968 (I was pretty young but old enough to remember being terrified). That was 6.9 strength and, even 50km away where I lived, was enough that we had huge cracks in the walls and kitchen cabinets falling over. It apparently only lasted for 40 seconds but it felt like forever!
