People saying it lasted "minutes", people further away from the epicentre  
then I talking about how it shook everything... as I've said elsewhere -  
house went up, house came down.

Really though it was all the news stories that were amusing me. CCTV  
footage of the event "the camera shakes violently" um take a camera in  
your hand now gently oscillate it up and down and side-to side; ooh yeah  
violent.
