Reflections on experiencing a natural disaster
Sometimes I fantasise about being in an earthquake. Not a big one, just enough to feel the ground shake, to see the earth move for a few seconds.
I should be careful what I wish for. Last Sunday I was in the plughole of a proper natural disaster as massive amounts of rain tried to barge its way into our house. It wasn’t any fun. Our house is fine, and other friends have had far worse experiences, but it has knocked me about a bit, and it’s been hard to focus on work.
