    Too cloudy here as well although it did look promising first thing when the sun was rising but it soon got covered with cloud.

    Heard on the radio that there was another earthquake registered somewhere up north but didn't catch where it happened...

    The epicentre was Ripley. According to people I know on Facebook in that part of the world, it felt like a very large lorry going past.
