                @ReadEverything actually I’m seeing other reports saying it was slightly further north of us, and you probably felt it about as much as we did…

                @baconmash Ah yes that was a corker, I had given birth the day before and was on the 2nd or 3rd floor at The Women’s, not a great feeling being in a multi storey building and extremely defenseless!
