S2 Bali Earthquake - 19th September 2009

Miss Irvines Mum and Dad called her on Saturday afternoon to tell her that they had just been in an earthquake while on holiday in Bali. I was incredibly jealous in an odd way. They are fine and there was no damage, but they said it was an interesting experience. the earthquake measured 6.4 on the Richter scale. First person to inform me what the richter scale measures wins a prize.
