Thanks, as I said, there's been little real damage anywhere. One chap
apparently broke his pelvis or something when a chimney pot fell through his
roof but if that was the only injury it's pretty good, I reckon. Far more
people were damaged on the roads yesterday. We ought to get such things into
perspective.

The garden shows zero damage, the few flowers are still shining through
today's gloom, the hens are unaffected it seems and all's right with our
world :-)

Glad you are ok. The only time I ever experienced anything at all here
in Philadelphia, Pa. USA was about 40 years ago. It was a tremor and
all I noticed at my apartment at that time was that one of the windows
slammed shut with a bang. I can imagine the terror in a big one
though.
