    Is it related to, or an aftershock of, the Norway-Donegal quake the other day?

    It was pretty strong alright.

    I was sleeping.

    Woke me and thought it was a dream until I saw the curtains swaying....

    Very disorientating......youre not sure whether its you or the house thats swaying....
