earthquake!

We have already experienced a few earthquakes since we arrived two weeks ago. Kinda getting used to it. It shakes for about 10 seconds, and the chandelier in my bedroom rattles. The strongest one was last Sunday when it was about 4.5 on the Richter scale. According to local folks, these frequent but small shakes are harmless and actually beneficial because they allow pressure to dissipate, so that there is no build up of energy for anything catastrophic. Lets hope so.
