I have always wanted to experience an earthquake (a little one), and last night I got my wish, as the following report shows. As happened when I got my wish to see what a car accident was like up close, it was a little unsettling. It was a bit hard to fall into a deep sleep knowing that the 6 floors above could easily come down on me.
A strong earthquake, 6.0 on the Richter scale and 5.4 on the Richter scale, according to separate media reports, struck Albania and Macedonia at 11.49pm local time, 0.49am on September 7 Bulgarian time, Focus news agency has reported.
Seismologist reports have pinpointed the tremor's epicentre near the town of Bulqize, Albania, close to the Macedonian border.
The earthquake, which was followed by as many as 58 aftershocks, was felt in Tirana, as well as Macedonia, but it was not felt in Greece.
