Another tremor and this time right in the middle of Monday night’s lesson. Apparently it measured 4 on the Richter scale and had its epicentre only twenty six kilometres south east of Lima. That’s close!
It was not the nicest of feelings to just sit there and listen to the rumble grow louder and louder and then feel the house beginning to shake causing the windows and doors to vibrate and the plates and glasses to rattle and clink in the various cupboards. The entire event may only take six to seven seconds; however, I can assure you that’s long enough for you to become rather fearful.
A few of the members of the class, including myself, did not like the experience one little bit. Others just seem to take the whole performance as normal.
People must wonder about the next ‘big one’!
