the quake

Sunday morning, just before 7am, still sleeping, we were hit by an earthquake. Though may be small for certain other parts in the world, for us it was significant. Within one hour a second quake hit us. Several weeks and over two hundred aftershocks, people are still investigating their damage. 

More than 26.000 objects in Zagreb are damaged, in our village 5 houses were totally destroyed, but we are happy. The village on the hill opposite of us, is heavily hit. They say that 90% of inhabitants left it as it became uninhabitable.

I must admit that still, when a new aftershock wakes me up in the night, my hearts skips a beat or so. It’s a scary thing to live in an epicenter…
