Earthquake shakes South-East England

[displaced]

One of our field staff at work had £60,000-worth of damage done to her house by the earthquake. Poor woman has the worst luck in the world. We once saw a new, out-of-the-box computer bluescreen as she walked past it

Still, she's taking it all with her usual glum resignation. She said that on the plus side, she doesn't mind doing lots of work all over the country for us since she'd rather be staying in hotels at the company's expense rather than having to sort out her own accommodation -- her house has been deemed unsafe.

I'm late to reply to this but I have to post, if not only as a warning to the whole of the UK. ( )

I'm a Californian living in England, and I swear I bring whatever cali's got with me wherever I go. There was uncommonly pleasant weather in England for a while but it seems the quakes are coming too. There's good and bad to everything, right?

It's an ongoing joke with my family, every place I've ever moved to has had earthquakes within a year of my settling. I can't wait to tell them it applies even in England.

FTR, I didn't feel the earthquake, thankfully, but I've been traumatized plenty by them.

So apologies to everyone, feel free to blame me.
