Disaster day

The community event was to do with disaster prevention. I thought it would be over in the morning, but it went on a bit. The local fire and rescue folk played two videos after we all had a go in a little earthquake machine on the back of a truck. It was a very rudimentary room that was shaken about in various seismic rythms based on earthquakes of the past. Not nice to see how long and violent some of them were. We are not on any major fault lines here so that kind of severity is not very likely, but there are many places in danger from landslides.
Sorry about the intermittent service, I am still a bit distracted. I am kind of hoping to go back and fill in with drawings, but need to write down something to remind me what happened each day.
