I was in my flat in Harare. Living room, dining room downstairs. Two bed room up stairs and bath and toilet. I really like the place...bought magnificent Spanish dinning set, table, chair and cupboard...I found a one 18 inch owl made by a local Zimbabwean craftsman. The Owl frightened quite a few inquisitor. I liked the flat ....an avenue of jacaranda...real lilac. and green ...and a number of eating places
One busy day....I lie down in this double bed. I must have been asleep for more than an hour but suddenly it is as if one end of the bed was lifted and I was sliding straight into the lilac . T waited for the wooden knob to hit me ...It was quiet, the door was still shut. I have no idea but I thought of Kariba and Victoria Falls ...IT Was an EARTHQUAKE. Slowly I collected information earthquakes from Tokyo, to Rukwa, Ceylon and India. I had no clue that when I retired it would be a source of great interest and eventually in Tanzania, Major General Msuya listened to me for over an hour. In disbelief he asked me how I knew all these things ....Four months later, ther was no need to say more ...57 people killed in Kagera in Tanzania In Goa the disasters are man made ! Adolfo
