It was a small #earthquake, but it still freaked me out. Not enough that I screamed or jumped or anything. Just enough that I’m shaking and doing my regular post-earthquake ritual of reading up yet again about #FaultLines and #TectonicPlates.

Tonight I learnt that the #SouthernAlps are actually growing taller, at a rate of about 7mm a year.
