With all the news about the earthquakes and tsunamis in Asia, I heard a bit of something on the news that made me wonder – earthquake/rescue experts from the UK are heading to Sumatra to help in the recovery of victims.

I don’t think that we have a lot of earthquakes here in the UK, or at least, none that require experts in recovery. Indonesia on the other hand, seems to have a lot. So, given this, shouldn’t Indonesia be one of the leading nations in the world with earthquake experts and/or rescue teams?

It would also seem most prudent for Indonesia to develop these rescue teams, and become very skilled in the field. Does anyone know if they are doing so?

Apparently, and notice I say that word apparently, we had an earthquake last night. And it was about oooh, 12 miles down the road where the epicentre was (Market Rasen). Not that I knew of course, because like most people at 1am I was fast asleep. And I can sleep through hurricanes, tornadoes etc., so a little earthquake really isn’t going to do much.

My brother said the house was shaking, my niece woke up screaming. Work-mates said they woke up or their spouses did, the bloody news has been talking non stop about it, all these people saying chimneys fell down, houses shook, and so on. Not here, at least not here for me.

So all in all, it was a pretty disappointing earthquake in the UK.
