4.8 is quite a biggy. Hope you're all safe and sound in that area

I too hope everyone is okay. I was in the last big Sofia earthquake 3 floors up in a hotel and it was extremely scary feeling the walls shake. Of course, there would be the worry of huge waves too on the coast. Briefly saw pics on the Bulgarian news of a very rough sea.

hopefully tonight my chair will stay still and not go for a small dance !!!!
