LOL.

An earthquake came through here some 5 years ago. I was upstairs, and it
sounded as though a freight train was coursing through the basement.

We have a fault running past here a few miles out that occasionally
moves - in fact there seems to be some evidence its gathering strength
for another shake. It last moved in 1812 (I think) and in keeping
with the nudity theme gained notoriety for the British garrison at the
Castle in Cape Town (who also appeared to be abluting at the time).
The worthy soldiers, much to hilarity of the local populace, dashed
out onto the parade ground most attired in nothing at all.

Seems to have been the most talked about event of the year. In fact
the local populace have a little ditty about it.....

How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

Is that an extension of the Rift Valley, the African plate looks
pretty solid.
