Trembling

So two more earthquakes two nights ago, right after each other, at 5.9 and 5.8 on the Richter scale, they say.  These were pretty long.  I was in bed; it was a bit after midnight.  You could feel the building sway for over a minute, and the wall vibrated.  I don't think this was the strongest one there's been since we've been here, but because it was long, it seemed bigger.  It was something like 110 miles deep, and the epicenter was 150 miles or so distant from Kabul.  I've lost track, but that's at least seven or eight perceptible earthquakes this year.
