The computer monitor fell over and the walls moved a lot. May be I was closer to the epicenter than some of you. My hair dresser thought It was only local and didn't cause millions of pounds of damage like it did, according to the BBC anyway. I suppose if she thought that maybe so did a lot of others and they just didn't search, thus not making it kick in.

However the news.google.com search is the best, but everyone wont be using it, and most would go for organic results too. Google should have updated that too.

I did have to laugh when it made the headline news and they showed a shot from a wobbly CCTV camera. If it was anywhere else in the world that camera would have been sitting under a pile of rubble with flames licking round it.

It then stopped and I fell right back asleep after saying "wow, that was weird" to my wife. When I woke up this morning I just had a quick look at bbc news on my phone who confirmed it was an earthquake. I expected more results from google and was looking for the QDF thing to kick in.
