There are quite a few earth-quakes here... sitting on the Syrian-African tactonic fracture, as we do. There was one a few months ago, around 4 Richter... no-body felt it, but it cracked some buildings. Nothing serious, though.

There was one that I remember, a few years ago... it was 6.5-7 Richter, and it woke me up. The windows were shaking, and my bed trembled. I don't remember what I did, but I wasn't scared. It was kind of neat.
