You know how sometimes you're just laying in bed trying to go to sleep, 
and suddenly you get that feeling like you're falling really fast just 
for a split second? I really hate that. Makes me jump out of my skin... 
but then of course you realise you only imagined it.

At about 1 AM today, I woke up and it seemed like the entire bed was 
shaking. And shaking fairly hard, actually. As if there was a washing 
machine on a spin cycle next to my bed. And then after a moment or two 
it stopped.

I couldn't figure out how that would be possible, so I figured I was 
just dreaming or something. But I remember being annoyed at being awake, 
and checking the clock to see what the hell the time is. It took a 
while, but eventually I managed to go back to sleep.

Oh, and in other news, apparently there was an earth quake last night...

I get that every once in a while - I could say maybe once per 2 months oslt.

There's a train track at 200-300 meters away from here and if a _very_ 
heavy train passes by all the surrounding grounds shake up a bit. The 
first time was freaking, while the bed just starts shaking a lot (my bed 
_amplificates_ the darn shaking, so it's pretty more noticeable at the 
bed than anywhere else).

Oh, that's nice... You must really enjoy living there. :-S

  One could think that some law (hmm, what's "kaavoitus" in English?)
would prohibit building too close to train tracks and other such noisy
environments, but I suppose not.

Hmm, now there's an interesting thought... I know there are regulations 
here against high noise levels, but I don't think there's actually 
anything against low-frequency vibrations. (i.e., something that's 
seisemic rather than sonic.)

Why that's relevant I'm not really sure... and um... wow, is it noon 
already?

Well, it was fairly strong. I mean, it wasn't a gentle twitch, it was a 
fairly serious *shaking*...

Well, my house is actually built 60 years ago and I have no idea, how 

don't actually apply (actually, theres much newer houses between mine 
and the track). I think the basic problem comes from increasing weights 
of the trains - 60 years ago there probably wasn't such massive 
movements on that track as today (note that they still are rare).
